Hmmm.  You're right, that was interesting.  Some stuff was baloney, like not needing to help kids learn: if they ask for help, and need it, then we help, right?  we help them learn how to put their socks on...  But I thought the bit about the 6yo eating leaves was good :-)  The 10yo wanting to go to school was interesting, is it unschooling to not allow her to go?  I suppose one could argue about the disruption to the family and so on, but if it's genuinely her chioce?  I've always said that if mine wanted to go, they could, even though it would turn my life upside down, but ahving kids turns one's life upside down anyway <g>  Food for thought...
 
Thanks for sharing :-)
