Somebody, very recently, sat among a large group of homeschoolers and called
themselves unschoolers. They use the Calvert Curriculum.

They consider themselves unschoolers because: (1) they use their Calvert
Curriculum in a pretty relaxed way and have some fun doing it, (2) they only
do their lessons a few times a week, not everyday, and (3) they do lots of
other activities - their homeschooling is not LIMITED to using Calvert.
