Unschooler seven years, of Elijah, age seven.
I agree with you to an extent, but I think you are misunderstanding what unschooling is. It is a rejection of the structure and content of the public schools, but its not a rejection of all authority. We are quite strict about the amount of time Elijah spends on math vs, on video games, for example. A large percentage of human knowledge is quite painful to learn. There seems to be no way around forcing the multiplication tables; however, there are plenty of subjects that require no forcing whatsoever, and benefit greatly from removing the authority figure. Take literature for example, there is no worse pain than reading a book you hate, as there is no greater pleasure in reading a book you love.
