Schuyler Waynforth is an American who has been living in the UK for the past 8 years.

She is the mother of Simon, 14, and Linnaea, 11, neither of whom have ever been to school. The unschooling path started for her and her family when she heard an internet broadcast of an American National Public Radio programme on home-education while living in Japan.

And while it wouldn't be truth to say she has never looked back, she certainly has never regretted taking this road less travelled.
