Reflecting on unschooling ; is it for Filipino kids too?

Yesterday, I had great time talking about unschooling with Jon Mannion. I told him that only last week did I learn that there is an actual school in the United States which is the Sudbury Valley School in Framingham, Massachusetts. After learning about that, I became more interested in unschooling and  I was also able to watch a few videos about unschooling in YouTube. I became interested in unschooling because of the BSA E-Room and I wondered if we can  use the Sudbury model in the BSA E-Room or in the Philippines. I asked this to Jon and he said that it is quite unlikely that unschooling or the Sudbury model can be applicable as a learning model in the Philippines. He said one reason is culture and another is the socio-economic factor to which I gladly agreed to. Still wonder if someday there will be a school in this country which will be included in the list of Sudbury schools.
