You Unschool? How will your children get into University? I am asked this question many times and as my kids get older, I am asked this more.In this episode I reflect on my personal opinion around this topic. 
Why this can feel like this is a question about my parenting, not education. 
Why University should be the student's choice, not the parent's. 
Is University an extension of life long learning or a reflection of your success as a parent? 
If your child chooses to go how they can enter as a homeschooler or unschooler. 
The downside of University. Ready to carry debt? 
Why Universities are recruiting homeschoolers. 
If University reflects our fast paced technological world and the access it gives. 
What our family learning goals are. 
OECD education report data on post secondary schooling. Previous Episodes about homeschoolers or unschoolers and University Chip Franks Part 2~ Advice From DadChip talked about how his daughter got into the College of her choice. She did not have a high school diploma or used curriculum. Judy Arnall~Homeschool Advice From An ExpertJudy spoke about how 4 out of her 5 unschooled kids entered completed University. (The 5th is currently high school age). Jim Sheils~How One Entrepreneur Is Overturning The Traditional Education ModelJim questioned if University fulfills what you need to meet your dreams and passions. Pam Laricchia~Exploring UnschoolingPam reflected on the REAL reasons why you would be attending University. “College is a tool that can be used to meet a goal, not a goal in and of itself. It’s an option on the learning platter.”When Pam's daughter looked into college she found that many of the courses in her major she already had a firm knowledge in. Unschoooling had allowed her the time to the time to pursue her passion and focus. She chose to move to New York City where she could find mentors and collaboration. I hope you are having fun in your learning journey. I hope this includes creating and exploring. And remember there are many options on this learning platter of life. I would love to hear your ideas on University and this episode.
