**The book is probably great for some people, but if it justifies several

instances of pressing lessons on kids, I don't think it's an ideal
recommendation.**

Nah, it doesn't justify them at all. She says something like - I screwed up
and here's how and why and what I thought we would gain from it, and you know
what, I was wrong and I wish I hadn't done it.

I think once people have read it they'll have a harder time trying to tell
themselves "it's okay if I make him do this just once" because she's so eloquent
about the consequences in her family of that sort of thinking.

Good.
If they had just read the first review, I was thinking they might think
"Well here's someone who went back and forth several times, and her kids ended up
fine and she wrote a book, so no rush for me to understand unschooling."
