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.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.
