Unschooling and Self-Directed Learning

I'm not sure what the literacy rate is today but I definitely thought people were much more illiterate in the past yeah. It would probably be a little bit unachronistic to kind of compare literacy rates then and now different kind of standards of literacy. But certainly when we see some of these standardized test scores coming out of different parts of this country you know it's hard to say that we're actually quite a bit more literate even though kids are spending so much more time in compulsory schooling settings.
