Nice to read something about unschooling! Some days, that's how our homeschooling is done. Ha! We follow the Charlotte Mason method, which a lot of people believe IS unschooling, or is super close to it. Mostly it focuses on reading literature to gain knowledge, quality living books. But not exactly the same as unschooling. Modern education does definitely put kids in a box and teach to the test. Great post!

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I've never heard of Charlotte Mason. My kids have always naturally enjoyed literature, though they both have slightly different taste than I do. Good taste still, just different. I think kids who grow up in reading families almost always become readers. At least I hope so. I have two more coming through that haven't learned to read yet.
My kids are not big readers yet. Our curriculum is basically all reading. Ha. It will be interesting as I start turning books over to them soon. Yikes...
I bet they'll pick it up. They always figure it out when they need it for something. I knew several boys that learned to read so they could read the cut scenes and instructions for their video games. My son learned because I told him I wouldn't read comic books to him because I don't like the broken up style of comics. There's lots of really good ones, but I just don't like the whole disjointed feel of them. Anyway. I bet they'll pick it up quickly.
