I saw a segment on news this morning.
From what I gathered, its schooling on a need to know basis but at the same time there is no limit to what can be learnt/taught.

Yea it was news I saw it to this morning. lol
Wht caught my intrest was how many comments and emails they got.

So if these kids want to go to college they wud then have to seek high school dipolmas etc. I guess.

Depends on the college they choose to go. There are many universities in the US that accept home schooling grades and diplomas. Depending in which state in the US someone lives, the person who home schools can legally create report cards AND also a diploma after completion of High School.

Unschooling is a GREAT method if you are home schooling kids with special needs such as ADD/ADHD or even high functioning autism that do not seem to work very well in a normal school setting or even a typical home schooling setting.

Well, I agree that depends on the college they choose to go.
