[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651789, member: 1550"] A lot of the unschooled kids were diagnosed with ADHD. A lot of the parents didn't really believe the kids had ADHD and took them out of school as there was pressure to put them on medication, which they were against. They seemed to at least be much happier. An example of unschooling, which I saw, is that when Mom is buying, say, fruit and she gives a few tomatoes to Junior so he can weigh the tomatoes then figure out the price. It's real life learning. Worked pretty well and I would have liked it too. I didn't do well in a conventional setting. Yet after I got out of school, I have loved learning on my own and pursuing the things I love. Not everyone can handle sitting in a chair for so long or paying attention to boring stuff. I know I could not do it. Not would not. COULD not. So I did very poorly in a structured classroom.
