“... others use it to provide a life skills only kind of education”
I am wondering if “life skills only” means the child never learns to read, write, do math etc... but only knows how to fish/hunt? I thought home schooling meant the child/children learned the academics.. perhaps at a slower or more advanced rate than schooled children. IMHO... the article keeps mentioning home schooling and I think it is wrong to use that term IF they aren’t schooling at all.

Unschooling is an option where people learn life skills, which reading and writing and ciphering are usually included. Read up on unschooling. YOu have a limited perspective of homeschooling. It is not like school schooling. Whether one’s life skills are hunting and gathering or ballet or violin or clowning, there are many people who unschool.
