They probably aren't aware there are any purist unschoolers out there, though.

One problem with saying okay about 'just reading or just math' is the other
end of the "I unschool parttime." Some of us have seen people come and say
"I use a curriculum, but we unschool in the summer." Or "my kids unschool on
the weekends and late afternoons when their work is done."

That's a misuse of the term, I'm definitely sure.
