Jon provided the name; now all I have to do is figure out what "Classical Unschooling" is. It could be confused with unschooling as it was practiced "in the good ol' days"—but for a great article on the "unschooling" label see Pat Farenga's post What's going on with unschooling? (There's no permalink that I could find, so if you come to this post later you may have to search in his archives.) What I mean for Classical Unschooling to be, however, is an approach to homeschooling—better yet, all of life—that combines the best of what I've gleaned from authors as divergent as John Holt and Susan Wise Bauer, a flexible plan that is low-stress yet high-expectation, creative yet disciplined, supportive yet challenging.
Liz at smithically schooled began the discussion, but it's a little hard to keep up with because if there's an an easy way to know when comments have been added there I can't find it. (The Recent Comments feature is another reason I like LifeType on Lime Daley for this blog.) It would be great if my highly intelligent and experienced blog readers would read and add to her discussion, which is why I'm making this post and sending you there. I'll also post a comment here if I note that the discussion has progressed there (and hope others will do the same) so you can know more easily if there's been an update.
