I have been on a back and forth battle with my son and his traditional school and going to start unschooling or homeschooling. Our biggest questions is what do we do for Driver’s education or how does he get his Driver’s license? What are the suggestions?

Can you email me suggestions?

This is our 2 and year homeschooling with a curriculum. She’s on her devices all day time when we’re not doing schoolwork. Next year she will be in high school. I’m intrigued with unschooling, but afraid she would not choose to learn anything. She doesn’t seem to have interests in any subjects and would be on her devices all the time. How do I start unschooling her as a high schooler so she can still graduate. I live in Virginia and we are required to either do standard I tests, (which she doesn’t do well in). Or provide a letter from aa person who has an academic degree who knows what progress she has made. Luckily, my husband has an academic degree.
