For the kids in the Martin family, the usual morning ritual of getting ready for school and onto the school bus is a foreign concept．They live as if school didn't exist．They're at home all day, but they're not being homeschooled．They're being “unschooled”．There are no textbooks, no tests and no formal education at all in their work．
It's a philosophy that makes sense to a small but growing number of parents．Unschooling is legal in many states, and now there are at least 150,000 unschooled families nationwide．
“Just picture life without school．We wake up, and have breakfast, and we just start pursuing what we're interested in,” said Dayna Martin, a mother of four in Madison, N．H．
Martin doesn't believe her kids need to go to school to learn their ABCs．It's part of a radical(彻底的)new approach to education and parenting．" I just personally don't believe that humans learn best when they're trying to learn something that somebody else is telling them to," she said．And her hands-off(不干涉的)approach extends to other areas of the children's lives．The kids are allowed to eat whatever they want as long as it is in the house．
What's more, they make their own decisions, and don't have chores or rules．“Because I don't punish them, and I don't use the term rules,” Martin said．“Sometimes people come over and spend time with us, family or friends．They'll ask me, ‘How do your kids learn if they're having fun all day?' So they don't equate learning with fun,” she said．“Whatever they're interested in, I try to bring as much of that into their life as possible with as many resources as possible．”
Martin said she has “such a present-based mind-set” that she doesn't think about her kids' futures, and that she just wants them to be happy．
