Former Teacher to Dr. Phil's Critique: "Unschooling Isn't Chaos — It's the Future"

LAS VEGAS - July 9, 2025 - PRLog -- As Dr. Phil Primetime shines a spotlight on the failures of the public education system, one retired teacher is offering a bold, solutions-focused alternative: unschooling.

Geri Lane, a veteran educator with over 25 years in the classroom and a Master's degree in STEM curriculum design, has launched a groundbreaking book series: Unschooling for Grades K–5. Her approach bridges the gap between educational freedom and academic accountability—showing parents how to turn everyday life into meaningful, standards-aligned learning.

"Parents aren't running from structure—they're running from burnout," says Lane. "Unschooling empowers families to meet real learning goals while honoring their child's curiosity."

Each book in the series is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and integrates STEAM learning—Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math—with real-world experiences. Unlike rigid homeschool curricula, Lane's guides include flexible weekly schedules, portfolio and documentation tools, sample questions tied to Depth of Knowledge (DOK), and book recommendations across subject areas.

Whether families are fully unschooling or supplementing traditional education, Unschooling for Grades K–5 gives parents the confidence to guide their children's learning—without sacrificing structure, standards, or joy.
