contents Open House Harrison, Mary M. Home Schooling Parents as Teachers Student Diversity Cultural Pluralism Sexual Orientation Child Safety Social Support Groups Individualized Instruction Pacing This article talks about Unschoolers of Memphis, a support group that welcomes home schoolers of any religion, race, ethnic background or sexual orientation. About 20 families come together in large and small groups, sometimes several times a week, to learn together. The Unschoolers of Memphis are part of a recent phenomenon in education--the huge growth in numbers of parents who are now directing their children's learning themselves, spanning a spectrum from "school-at-home" (parents teaching children in much the same way that a classroom teacher would), to "unschooling" (parents encouraging children to learn at their own pace through real-life experiences and through investigations of their interests and pursuit of their goals, usually aided more by library materials than by standard textbooks.)
