We home schooled DD9 this last year, full time during the 1st semester and 1/2 time during the 2nd half of the year. (She went to gr 6 part time). It was really difficult for DH to get DD focused and work everyday. She didn't do well with un-schooling, but didn't do well with too much pushing either. I think they pretty much came to a compromise of having some hard work days and other days with more play/ non-traditional days where they went to the museum or park and learned stuff from there that didn't really follow a curriculum, but were interesting and fun.
