 > What is "unschool"? I have never heard of that.
From what I understand, there are two different ways of schooling your 
children at home. One is merely having "school at home"....a planned 
curriculum, studies, written work requirements, etc. The other appears to be 
the opposite....the child learns in a more natural way, what he wants to 
learn, hands-on...not in a desk-blackboard-written work requirements sort of 
manner...."unschooling".
I personally think a midstream approach would be appropriate for 
homeschooling - for some things, ya just "gotta" sit down and work at it 
(grammar, writing, spelling). For other things, tho, the project or 
just-do-it approach would work well....science comes to mind here.
