31: From Unschooling to University

My 17-year-old daughter, Charlotte has just started her first Open University unit. In this week's episode, I talk about her transition from unschooling to university. In particular, I discuss the following questions:

• Can homeschooling children earn a 'score' or qualification, equivalent to the HSC, the school leavers' certificate?
• How can unschooling children get into university?
• Are unschoolers at a disadvantage when they attend on-campus universities?
• Are unschoolers prepared for university learning?
• What about essay writing skills?
• What are the advantages of studying for a degree online?

I also talk about some other things I've been doing recently:

• Making unschooling videos
• Creating a new blog
• Facebook pages
• And Imogen's and my podcast plans
