| Unschooling or home schooling didn’t really exist as cultural forcet when I was growing up but my own personal educational backgrounds was pretty weird after middle school. I took lot of college classes starting at age 14, dropped out of public school to attend college at age 15 then dropped out of college to study philosophy on my own and then back to a private high school where there were two students. Which is kinda sorta as close an approximation to unschooling as you could get in those olden days of the early 1980s. I mention this because I learned computer programming at age 13 on a TRS-80 computer with a manual that was basically a comic. It was fun and made it seem easy and not intimidating. And I mention THAT because this book looks cool – learning about electricity through Japanese style comics…

I would much prefer Japanese style comics to my high school science class. Thanks for posting!
I have a friend who home-schooled his kids until the eight grade. When the oldest went to public school in the ninth grade, the kid got straight-A’s. Now the kid is a CPA in the Atlanta area. The other children were equally successful in their endeavors.
Not all home schooling us “unschooling,” and public education isn’t so wonderful either.
