"Starting school can be an exciting time for parents and children — but
sometimes it doesn't go as planned.
Thousands of Australian kids go on to experience what many families and experts
call 'school can't', which can occur at any age.
Until recently, it was known as 'school refusal', however advocacy group School
Can't Australia argues the phenomenon isn't a deliberate choice made by
children, and the old term isn't accurate.
While many children eventually go back to the classroom, a lot aren't able to
return.
But what happens when those burnt-out kids are unable to participate with a
full-time, structured homeschooling education?
The answer for some parents and kids is 'unschooling' — where children direct
their own learning.
Here are some of their incredible stories of success."
