This reminds me of another point! It is the stuff my kids do and research on their own during their off hours that I really find amazing. We can't completely go the unschool route either.

I'm sure a real "unschooler" would not consider us anywhere near their philosophy. But I love that my kids have time to dig around in their own interests.
