Typical Days, Socialization
Sandra Dodd
Some of the questions asked often are "What's a typical unschooling day?" and "What about socialization?
Here are a couple of blogs you might want to read, and that might be good to pass on to others who ask. Some people aren't ready for serious discussions. I think Rippy's right, and serious discussions can make a profound difference in people's lives, but what about those who just want to peek at some info and then think about it on their own?
http://honeyhousekindgarden.blogspot.com/ has descriptions of days with a young unschooler, and nice photos, too.
http://www.jennifermcgrail.com/2011/01/why-my-kids-will-never-be-socialized/ is a great blog post with a busy, happy, indirect answer to the socialization question.
That same blog has a good unschooling FAQ from a Christian point of view (and so includes the question Christians probably get most, which is whether it's possible for Christians to unschool).

On my own site, I have a typical days section left over from the days before there were blogs. :-) (And there are some more recent entries, too.)

And here's my socialization collection. I think I'll add that one from up above (as a link) there.
