Yes -- every single unschooling child's life is different - so, yes,
unschooling is different for every child. But not all ways of living with
children are unschooling. There are some basic philosophical principles of
unschooling that are the SAME for all unschoolers.

consider soft porn and come to think of it, I guess some would consider just
plain porn. Full frontal female nudity and back male nudity with lots of
simulated (at least I'm guessing) sex.

I have some recommendations:
School-style lessons are neither necessary nor productive.
Parents do NOT know what the child will need to know when he's grown and
working.
Learning happens naturally all the time.
"Keeping up" with the assembly line at school is not conducive to natural
learning. Kids will be ahead in some things and behind in some.
I think the certificate of empowerment is still a good description or
guideline. There used to be an alternative/critical one floated about years
ago on AOL. Anyone remember that or still have it? I think I later heard
the author/critic had never once completed a full year of homeschooling, but
every single year panicked and put her kids in school. The insistence of the
counter-one, though, was that teaching was GOOD. SO! There's the result of
insisting that teaching is good and necessary.
But anyway, it's at http://sandradodd.com/empowerment
and some other places you can google-up at any later date.
