Our Day With Fox News


When we got home from Texas we were contacted by Becky Diamond of Fox News. She wanted our family for a Primetime News Story about Unschooling. Our family is going to be featured in a segment along with John Taylor Gatto.

We discussed everything with the kids, as we always do, and we decided as a family that we would like to take part in this opportunity. Although the segment will be short, Becky came and filmed our family for about 6 hours. We had a really fun day, doing what we always do, living and learning together. I was also interviewed alone about Unschooling philosophy.

We all had an exciting day and the kids learned so much about film and how the News puts together a story. Here are a few pictures of our day with Fox News.

Just another day in the life of the Sparkling Martins.

I saw the FoxNews segment last night.

You did a great job Dayna! You are brave to put yourself out like that, to be interviewed by FoxNews.

Our family no longer unschools, I do still respect the philosophy. I still mourn a bit that it was not working out for my older son, which made me stop doing it, and it is not a good fit for my younger son either.

I hadn't realized you had YouTube videos. Kudos!! You are so well spoken!
