My kids are JUST like this. I like to joke they wouldn't be potty trained yet had I not pushed hard on it! laugh So I don't think a full on unschooling approach would work for them. Especially at the ages they are now (6 & 9).

Anyway, I do think the poster of that thread was likely a bit naive when she took an unschooling approach and just thought dropping her kids right to public school would work? That might work for a motivated and/or gifted unschooler. But to assume it'll all work itself out would be short sighted in my book.
