			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On April 20, 2010 <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheYoungTurks">The Young Turks</a> &#8211; a YouTube show &#8211; uploaded a video about unschooling. The video shows an ABC news segment on unschooling. The hosts of The Young Turks follow the video screening with commentary. Ana Kasparian<a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-5445-Politics-in-Education-Examiner~y2010m4d20-How-harmful-is-the-unschooling-trend"> blogs</a> about her thoughts on homeschooling and unschooling. I am truly amazed by how uninformed these individuals appear and how little investigation would seem to have gone into their reports. True journalists seek information rather than toss about unsubstantiated information.</p>
<p>Unschooling is a form of homeschooling. It is an educational philosophy. Homeschoolers are diverse as are their educational methods, not unlike schools. Unschooling is not about letting your children do &#8220;whatever&#8221; in a careless, neglectful manner. It is about non-coercion. Obviously, Ms. Kasparian at age 10 preferred television over reading a book &#8212; she wasn&#8217;t unschooled. And yes, Ms. Kasparian if an unschooled teen decides she truly wants to go to college, she will acquire the knowledge she needs to do it.</p>
<p>Watch the video and judge for yourself, &#8220;Unschooling vs. Homeschooling vs. Formal Education&#8221;.</p>
