[Historically...]
Nobody kept their kids home for 18 or 20 years just discussing life with them, hanging out, playing games.
We probably wouldn't be either, if it weren't that we're biding time until the clock runs out on compulsory education.
So even as we unschool now (and I'm not talking about people with toddlers who aspire to become unschoolers over the years), it's in reaction to the culture around us, it's finding a way to live in an alternative fashion within this culture.
People can't actually leave the planet and can't actually go back in time. The only place we can live is the here and now.

P.S. A few people have left the planet for a while, but they don't get very far, and no unschooling family has yet done so.
