The question for those of you who say you wouldn't go to an unschooled surgeon or CPA, the question really is how do you know?  They have a college and medical degree on the wall.  Do you often question your physicians or accountants or plumbers about where they went to high school?[/quote]

If they have a college diploma and a medical school diploma on the wall, they weren't unschooled.[/quote]

Why? [b]It appears that you're saying by default kids won't get into or succeed at college or beyond. [/b] Being homeschooled or unschooled as a child doesn't translate into a young adult not wanting to go to college necessarily.

Again, how would you know?[/quote]

No, I'm saying that they went to college and to medical school. Yes, they may have been unschooled before college and medical school. But they were not unschooled for their entire educational career. I know this because they have diplomas from schools.[/quote]

So, to be clear, you would go to a doctor, etc who was unschooled for the first 18yrs of their life and then went to university?  Pretty much what most unschooled kids of highly educated and involved parents do.  I've never seen the term unschooled used with regard to higher education.  It's typically, like homeschooling, a term reserved for the education of children 18 and younger.[/quote]
