School is one option for education; homeschooling is the second, and unschooling is the third.

Many parents are frustrated by the school system, perhaps because of bullying, crowded classrooms, and outdated, dull, online courses. Disengaged learners that have no say in their coerced curriculum tend to act out, tune out, or drop out. Education must change and unschooling is the fastest-growing alternative method of learning.

Two decades ago, students registered with their local school based on their house address. Now, with the internet, students are borderless. Learning can occur anywhere, anytime, anyway and from anyone--including self-taught.

Self-directing their education, unschoolers learn through:

  • Play
  • Projects
  • Reading
  • Volunteering
  • Video games
  • Sports
  • Mentorship
  • Travel
  • Life

This book explores the path of 30 unschooled children who self-directed all or part of their education and were accepted by universities, colleges, and other postsecondary schools. Most have already graduated.

What children need most are close relationships-parents, teachers, siblings, relatives, coaches, and mentors within a wider community, not just within an institutional school. Educational content is everywhere. Caring relationships are not.

Families that embrace unschooling, do not have to choose between a quality education and a relaxed, connected family lifestyle. They can have both.

Kinda flimsy…
Thought the assembly was metal, it’s some kind of PVC.

Stacking shelves
These work perfectly, even in rooms with high ceilings. One thing I didn’t really see mentioned or highlighted anywhere is that they can be stacked. I decided to try it anyway, and it turned out awesome. I purchased two units and placed one on top of the other, which essentially created one tall shelf. It ended up being a great way to maximize vertical space and made the setup look much more custom and intentional

Do not hesitate!
I was hesitant with some reviews saying it comes with scratches. This was packaged extremely well and it only had one or two very minimal scratches that you barely can even see. It is very sturdy and took about 40 minutes to build. It looks amazing and is not bulky but holds a lot which I love. After building this one, I immediately ordered a second one to go on the other side of my window. My son walks in and saw this bookcase and now wants one for his room, so I will be definitely ordering more.

I love this shelving unit!
We recently moved into a smaller home and I was struggling with storage. I found this and I’m so glad I did. It looks so good and I was able to assemble pretty quick, I think like 20 mins. I still need to get my husband to attach it to the wall but it’s the prefect size for my space. The only thing I wish was better is the instructions to assemble. It’s really easy once you figure it out but the instructions are just a few pictures on a small piece of paper. I love it!!!
