As a homeschooling parent with a similar philosophy (what I would call hybrid unschoolers), some of your posts give me great hope, and some make me worry more than I’d like.
So far, our kids love “school” and learning. They read for hours every day, and do all sorts of wonderful, creative things, just like your kids. They’ve never experienced bullying or peer pressure, and are free to be 100% themselves. They live an idyllic childhood, but Mr. CAR and I often have these worried, guilty moments when we wonder if we’re doing them a huge disservice. Perhaps we should be instructing them more on how life is supposed to suck, and you’re not supposed to like whatever it is that you “should” be doing.
It’s not easy being a parent these days. You end up worrying no matter what you do.
