What a contrast with the homeschooling movement!
An ABC News Story By JUJU CHANG and ALYSSA LITOFF
For the Martin family, the usual morning ritual of getting ready for school and onto the school bus, is a foreign concept.
They live as though school doesn't exist. They're at home all day, but they're not being homeschooled. They're being "unschooled." There are no textbooks, no tests and no formal education at all in their world.
"Just picture life without school. So, maybe a weekend. We wake up, and we have breakfast, and we just start pursuing what we're interested in doing," said Dayna Martin, a mother of four in Madison, N.H.
Martin doesn't believe her kids need to go to school to learn their ABCs. It's part of a radical new approach to education and parenting.
