I don't agree with the philosophy of unschooled. I think those who subscribe to this type of thinking and teaching are ignorant and are doing their children a huge disservice. I think every parent has a responsibility and duty to educate their children and to shape and mold that untapped and raw potential. When children are left to raise, entertain and educate themselves they don't choose things that are productive or positive. When a child has to much free time to think idle thoughts that is when trouble beings to be birthed in their minds and activities.

I do agree that homeschooling is not for every child or parent. It does take commitment, time, energy and at times sacrifice but the benefits are Hugh to your child and your relationship with them. If your planning on homeschooling take the time to properly educate yourself on the different resources, methods, support groups and enrichment activities. It will help you to have less anxiety, more success and fun.
