For example if you really wanted to design computer games your english/writing work could be incorporated into doing a design doc/writing a story/dialog for your game. Your math/science work would be incorporated into the project as well since you'll probably want to know physics/chemistry so you can make your game realistic, and you'll probably need math all over the place to design various game systems. The big trick with unschooling is that you and/or your parents have to see how to incorporate your interests into everything you're learning.

Basically, the unschooling philosophy was let you kid do what they want and drive them toward learning what their passionate about. This is very similar to the environment one encounters in graduate school while doing Masters or PhD research.

But a funny thing happened on the way to unschool. By the time our kids were done with their reading and writing and arithmetic lessons, they didn't have much more time for learning through play than any other kids did.
