I've read this and I still have no idea what unschooling is. Does the author mean that they literally pulled their kids out of school and instead they just do open university courses? That's mad. Like actually 100% mad. In fact I don't think that should even be legal.

There's a good reason it's illegal in many countries.

    At least in Germany, literally Hitler, not even joking. The Nazis outlawed homeschooling in 1938 and neither East nor West Germany ever repealed the law, it's still the one on the books: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2008/feb/24/schools.uk https://www.theguardian.com/education/2008/feb/24/schools.uk

The author is only listing those items that have costs so there might be other educational activities that the children are pursuing. Also curious to know if open university courses are not considered to be educational for teens.
