We would love to hear your stories! We are especially interested in stories, personal insights and perspectives that describe what unschooling means to you.

We are interested in stories that celebrate finding your own way with your child that are personally real and non-judgmental in nature as possible. Thoughtful, respectful personal commentary is welcomed, as well.

Vignettes are also welcomed and do not need to be of length; in fact, a paragraph will work best.

A collection of personal stories, commentary and vignettes will be used to create this page: What is Unschooling?

You can submit your writing (story, personal commentary, vignette) to the editor at editor-lwos@comcast.net

When addressing the editor, specify "What is Unschooling?" and give your name as you would like it published.

If you find that you have a story of length to share, follow the instructions for Guest Author in the Writer Guidelines.

We look forward to hearing from you!
