When close friendships clash over unschooling choices

My best friend keeps making comments about how my unschooled kids 'don't know basic facts' and I know she's genuinely worried but it's starting to feel like I have to defend my family every time we hang out, and I'm wondering if our friendship can survive this fundamental disagreement.

What we've seen

A deep friendship is being tested by one person's inability to trust the other's educational choices, turning care into criticism and connection into conflict.

Worth thinking about
