Hi Sue, my name is Rebecca and I just wanted to say I’m so thankful for your podcast it has helped relieve a lot of my fears around unschooling, which I came to gradually. I started out on a pretty traditional homeschooling path with my 3 kids and would sit with them and the books from 9-5pm every day! We got unexpectedly pregnant with our fourth baby and thing started to “go off the rails” for a few years! In that time I realized I couldn’t sustain that rhythm and I didn’t want to. I could see how much they were learning all the time when I wasn’t constantly forcing structure. But I do have two things I want to know a little more about: 1) the transition through college/young adult age and what that is like, and 2) if the learning becomes more hidden as they hit the teen years, how do you turn it into transcripts and “course” information that you register with the state? What is that interaction like on an official level?
