When unschooled teens want traditional school

My teenage daughter wants to go back to traditional school after being unschooled her whole life and my wife thinks we should respect her choice while I feel like we're failing everything we believe in, and we can't seem to have a conversation about it that doesn't end with someone in tears.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A child's desire to experience conventional education is forcing her parents to confront whether their educational philosophy was about her freedom or their own convictions.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Unschooling and alternative education philosophy?”
