Homeschooling doesn’t need to be expensive, and can open a whole new way of thinking about your children, your relationships, and your world. I firmly believe that one who is homeschooling does not stop his learning process as long as you welcome new things. we learn as we grow up right so why be particularly strict into being in the traditional school if one could learn by with himself?

What an insightful book for a parent to read – “Unprocessing”, Unschooling or not!
WOW! Where do I begin? I loved this book! Not because I agreed with everything written in it but just because it was written.

Not what I’d hoped
We have been “unschooling” since birth- not radically, but very child led. I was disappointed in the broad generalizations made by this author seemingly based on her expierience…

Honest, introspective and informative.
The book is easy to read, informative and gives the reader of good idea of how unschooling works. I would read again and would pass on to others.

An inspiring memoir
a very interesting account of one womans dedication to finding an alternative to educate her child -
Anyone interested in pursuing alternative education should really read…

Disappointing and hypocritical
I am an ultra AP/unschooling mom, and I expected this book to further cement my decision to unschool.

A beautiful testament to what we can achieve when we open our hearts and trust our children.
In the Summer of 2006 a radical unschool mom lent me a book called The Unprocessed Child by Valerie Fitzenreiter.

way far left
I do not agree with her method. As a look into her slice of life it is very interesting. I do not agree that a child should decide when they want to learn to read.

a good read not a handbook
This is not a how to book or a resource book it is about one woman raising her daughter. Although some parts are a little more hard core then i am going to do with my own children…
