Unschooling on Sunday – TVONE -7:30pm

Posted on by

This week on the SUNDAY current affairs programme we talk to two families who home school their children.
But it is not home schooling as we might know it.
It’s called un-schooling, where there is no set curriculum and what is pursued is driven by what interests the child.
Please forward to staff…I look forward to their feedback.

SUNDAY – TVONE – 7:30PM
