This is the first I've actually heard of "unschooling", and it sounds rediculous! I suppose it's a part of the whole self esteem idea...if we don't test them, they can't "fail", and then they won't think poorly of themselves! In life, we are tested daily. If we have a job and don't complete it satisfactorily, we are in jeopardy of losing that job...it's a test of sorts. To raise a child in an environment that they are never tested and only learn what comes to them as a side effect of living is to be neglectful of that child's well-being for the future.
