When I started Homeschooling my children I bought the whole school at home. Homeschooling can be about planning lessons, assigning homework, and grade assignments, use of standard curricula, fixed times at which learning should take place, conventional grading methods in standardized tests. Unlike Schooling where child is forced contact with children in their own age group, the compulsion to do homework, regardless of whether it helps the learner in their individual situation, the effectiveness of listening to and obeying the orders of one authority figure for several hours each day. I felt I was demanding, dictating them at home. I then got across a "Parent teacher training certificate course" from ERDC which shifted my whole paradigm. I turned towards Natural Learning. I debunked all Schooling Philosophies.
Unschooling is a curiosity-led learning. In unschooling, the exploration of knowledge is left to the child. Parents can guide them, but ultimate choice is left to the child. There is no “doing schoolwork” because you are learning all the time.
The term 'unschooling' was coined in the 1970s and used by educator John Holt The father of Unschooling John Holt's book Learning All The Time  Unschoolers learn through their natural life experiences including play, household responsibilities, personal interests and curiosity, internships and work experience, travel, books, elective classes, family, mentors, and social interaction. Unschooling is self-directed education in a non-academic, often natural and diversified environment is a far more efficient, sustainable and child-friendly form of education than schooling, which preserves the innate curiosity, pleasure and willingness in discovering and learning new things.
