Unschooling: So Far, So Good...

I keep saying that I am an unschooler. In the beginning of homeschooling, I was about half unschool and about half traditional homeschooler. After unschooling 100% for a couple of weeks, I think that we have a winner.

I saw all my homeschooling friends using worksheets and workbooks and curriculum. The more I saw them using it, the more I started drifting towards it, and the more the kids and I were getting bogged down.

I can see us getting back to using a few workbooks and curriculum at some point in the near future. I think there is a time and place for it. For now, the unschooling is giving us all a much needed sigh of relief. No TV, no video games. They get so creative it's incredible!
