I've had newspaper reporters want to come and photograph my children unschooling, at our house. I told one reporter once that if she wanted to send a photographer, my kids were at various places around town, and I named places and times for the next couple of days. The gaming shop; Kirby teaching karate; Holly playing Harry Potter at a comic book store. I told her if they came to our house what unschooling would look like was a kid on the computer, or watching TV, or playing with toys. She was certain I was missing the point of what she "needed" to have photographed.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722973.post-11632677248583834782013-09-28T14:12:19.311-05:002013-09-28T14:12:19.311-05:00Both The Daily Breeze and The Daily News \ are par...Both The Daily Breeze and The Daily News \ are part of the Los Angeles News Group which is a company that runs nine daily newspapers in Southern California. The reporter spent a lot of time talking with me and also some other people. He interviewed people at our park day. Considering he started with knowing absolutely nothing about homeschooling, much less unschooling, he came pretty far in a very short time. <br /><br />The photographer came to our park day and was disappointed because she'd wanted to take pictures of "kids who are learning." I said that they learn through play and she said, "Well, okay, but not on playground." She managed to find a couple of kids immersed in some books that I'd brought to the park as give-aways.
