For awhile now, I have been avoiding mentioning subjects and it has been so
freeing. The myriad of things my children explore is nothing less than a
delight to witness. It's doubly delightful not having that nagging
"schooly" voice in my head going, "Well, that there was math." Or, "This
here is history." Occasionally, it comes to haunt me. The days I just
forget altogether about school or subjects of any sort are the ones I really
savor.

I'm aware that part of what makes our unschooling solid is that our state
doesn't require reporting. If I had to break it all out and name it (even just
in secret on paper) it would burst some of our big bubble!
