That’s a great question. And maybe I’m not really sure what I mean. My thought was something like “if unschooling is good - better than traditional schooling - then we would want to be able to export it to as many kids as possible.”

However, it seems - and this is where I could be wrong - that very few people (parents) would have the knowledge or the means to unschool. It’s a similar thing with homeschooling. Honestly, with the right parents homeschooling might be better in a lot of ways than sending your kids to public school, for example. But most parents don’t have the means or knowledge to do it, no less do it in a way that yields better results than public school.

BUT, I could be missing something. As a teacher for a decade or so I know fair bit about public schooling but I don’t know a lot about unschooling.
