Deschooling, Unschooling, and Homeschooling

People usually have trouble differentiating between deschooling, homeschooling, and unschooling.

Deschooling: A temporary process that aims to prepare the student for an entirely different learning environment.

Homeschooling: It is an alternative to the traditional school system where parents or tutors act as teachers in a classroom and follow a particular curriculum

Unschooling is an alternative learning approach. It is child-led, where the child learns what they want, when they want, in the way they want, for their own reasons.
