As 2021 draws to a close the inevitable slew of Top 10 lists appears, a marketing tactic that has become so ubiquitous that now, for the first time to my knowledge, there is a top list of unschooling blogs—Top 40 Unschooling Blogs and Websites.

Another sign that unschooling is speaking to a wider audience is my latest contribution to Porch.com, a home improvement site, for Part 2 of Easy Tips and Advice from the Experts to Handle Homeschooling.

And I’ll take this opportunity to plug my new book, Teach Your Own, in the spirit of marketing.

But more important, as the year ends and we consider where we’ve been this year and ponder what the future holds, I want to share my deepest appreciation to all of you who support unschooling and have helped my work and website over the decades. I hope to get more engaged online in 2022, publish the next volumes in the Growing Without Schooling series, and to meet more friends and allies who want all families to have the choice to guide their children through real-world learning.
