I love reading how everyone's HSing is done! I'm still trying to wrap my brain around unschooling. My impression was that if you require anything (even if it's choices w/ in that subject area) that's not unschooling. I think of unschooling as learning most things out in the real world. Now i did read that unschooling doesn't mean no textbooks, but that the child initiates it. I read of one unschooled girl who did NO writing until late highschool. She had some bad writing experiences while in public school so the mother didn't push it when she brought her home. She went to college and tested out of several writing courses. WOW! With no writing at all! I would be just too afraid to try that route.
