This comprehensive volume delves into the realm of unschooling as a burgeoning phenomenon within the broader landscape of home education, shedding light on the distinctive role of parents who opt for this self-directed approach to education with their children. Through an in-depth hermeneutic phenomenological study, the volume explores the intricate dynamics of parents as they navigate the intricate balance between the costs and benefits of unschooling, while simultaneously navigating the roles of leadership, followership, and parenting/teaching in the nurturing and development of their children.

The author conceptualizes unschooling within the framework of curriculum theory, placing it within the broader context of the home education movement. By emphasizing the fluid and (un)divided position that parents assume, the volume examines how learning and living become inseparable in the unschooling experience, unveiling the curriculum of learning-through-living that unfolds for unschoolers.

This book holds immense appeal to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students engaged in the fields of curriculum studies, parenting and family studies, and the sociology of education. Its insights and analysis provide valuable perspectives on the evolving landscape of education, offering valuable insights into the experiences and perspectives of parents who embrace unschooling as a transformative approach to learning and growth.
