Ever since I first started learning about homeschooling, unschooling has been one of those things that has intrigued me. I'm not enough outside the box that I could ever fully embrace that philosophy of education and permanently put away all the lesson plans, but I do try to implement it somewhat in our lives in an attempt to get the best of both worlds. I do consider us unschoolers in the summer and on breaks.
I do think letting a child lead certain aspects of his or her education has great value. We do tend to learn and remember what we are interested in, not what someone forced us to.
