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Many parents are frustrated by the school system, perhaps because of bullying, crowded classrooms, and outdated, dull, online courses.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.

My Pittie loves it
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
Very well made. Both my dogs were so intruiged by the movement, it wore off quickly but they still get into it from time to time (they have tons of other toys to distract them). my 100 lb Pitt mix was the only one who had a big enough mouth to really get it to work on his own but that didn't stop my 35 lb shar pei mix from chasing him around and trying to grab the tail! It has held up surprisingly well... Have had it for over six months and while it's nasty as heck from slobber it is in one piece.

So Disappointed
Style: Squirrel, Size: One Size, Style: Squirrel, Size: One Size
I purchased this godog interactive toy for my 6-month-old puppies for Christmas. The tail didn't move when I removed it from the package but they were so intrigued by the squeaker I gave it to them anyway. The toy didn't even last for a half hour before they had ripped the tail open and were scattering stuffing everywhere. The same thing happened with the leg of the chicken, the tail of the lobster and the wing of the duck. They were all poor quality and couldn't withstand normal puppy play. Additionally, the tip of the squeaker came off and my little dog swallowed it! I have a godog Llama that survived 2 years with a red-tick coon hound who could chew her way through a wall. The pups have been playing with it since they came home four months ago. It's a bit raggedy and the squeaker honks now, but it's still intact and keeps them entertained. That's the same quality I expected when I ordered these toys. That is why I'm so disappointed. Sadly, the $5 toys i purchased are still in one piece and still being played and snuggled with.

Was so hopeful!
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size, Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
My dog Dax is like a big German Shepherd trapped in a little Chawinnie. he’s only one and loves to chew on stuffed toys like this. I was excited to try this brand out because it looked very promising. Unfortunately only lasted a little over 48 hours and he was able to gutt it out & rip off the eyes. He really loved it though, it has a different sounding squeaker and when he bit it the tail would flop up/down, I also like that the squeaker part was right in the middle which made it hard for him to get to it since his mouth is small.. despite that he was still able too. The size was perfect for him though so I’ll probably sew it up and give ir back to him then order another one. Giving 4 stars because it’s well made can’t help that my dogs ferocious!

My fur baby loves this toy.
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
This toy works for my fur baby because she is a small Shih Tzu and not a rough chewer. It has lasted and has proved durable for her but may not be appropriate for an aggressive chewer or for a large fur baby. Because it is made of soft cloth I would not recommend for teething. Otherwise, I found this toy to be reasonably priced and one my fur baby loves to play with.
