Elon Musk started a mixed-aged school, without grades (in both senses of the word), for his and some SpaceX employees kids. A pretty well-written, detailed article can be found here ( http://education.penelopetrunk.com/2015/06/01/finally-silico... ).

First sentence:

> Her name is Elizabeth and she is a parent to three girls that are being unschooled.

Merriam webster says

> to make (one) disregard schooling or training

I don't think the well-written article and the dictionary are on the same page.

If you are going to criticize/snark, at least be factually correct. The part you quoted is in italics and is from the editor of the website, not the author of the article.
