Why is it that whenever a discussion turns to unschooling *someone* will come back with something to the effect of "that's great for your kids, but if I let my child do whatever he/she wanted, he/she would do nothing but sit around and play video games/watch tv/use the computer all day"? What is up with that? Do people REALLY believe that, or is that just what they are AFRAID will happen? How do they know that's what their child will do if they have never tested this theory for longer that a few days? And why is sitting around doing workbook pages or reading a book BETTER than sitting around doing anything else? Sitting around is sitting around.
Yeah, I realize there's not really a point to this post. Just thinking out loud.
