For parents, few subjects are as fraught as the question of schooling. Private versus public, personal tutors, extra homework… it seems mums and dads will now do just about anything to get their kids ahead. Now, the new approach to education that will have you falling off your chair. There's no school, no classes, no teachers, no tests - NOTHING. The kids are at home and do whatever they want, whenever they want. They learn reading, writing and arithmetic during the course of everyday life. It's not home schooling but un-schooling - a new trend being taken up by dozens of Australian families. Giving your children control over their own education may sound crazy but you'll be surprised at some of the results.
