Deschooling for Parents, by Sandra Dodd. Homeschooling and unschooling are so completely different from traditional schooling on so many levels. Children (and parents of children) who have spent time in a traditional school setting will do well to get rid of some of the associations they have with learning instilled by the traditional schooling method. This process is called “deschooling” and this article provides an understandable explanation of the process and practical hints to achieve it.

Cultivating the unschooling mindset. Don’t let the unschooling title scare you, there are great things to think about here. Maybe this is my own issue, but I can so relate to the description of “learning” just enough to get an “A” on the test and to enjoy the (fleeting) accolades which follow, all the while disliking school and longing to be out.
