I feel I have done my children a disservice by unschooling them!
I have been unschooling my children for 8 years now. I have a 12 yo and an 8yo. This year, for various reasons, we decided the 8yo would start school (3rd grade). She was so VASTLY behind the other kids in every subject it was embarrassing, overwhelming for her, a NIGHTMARE for both her and us. It was so bad we had to pull her out. The only part she had no trouble with was socializing.
Never will I unschool again! I don't want any flames for this because I have a right to my experience and opinion.
I am very upset with myself. I feel I have been duped and lied to by the unschooling community honestly.
I still firmly support and believe in homeschooling, but no longer can I support unschooling for my family.
