“Unschooling” 101: A new lesson in learning

It’s back-to-school season across the U.S., but for a growing number of kids, the first day of school never comes. Instead, they’re part of the “unschooling” movement, a form of self-directed education where children decide what, when, and how they learn. Supporters argue that it fosters independence and creativity. Critics warn it could leave significant gaps in core subjects, with little oversight or data to track outcomes. Host Yasmin Vossoughian sits down with NBC News Now Daily anchor Morgan Radford, who spent time with a family that decided to “unschool” their kids.
