It takes time to get it. I have been reading and applying unschooling in my home for almost 8 years and I am still getting it.
It takes time to deschool. Most of us have a minimum of 13 years of schooling and some way more. Ask questions and just sit on the answers, re-read them, think about them, read them again, try them, wait a while and watch!
So all this to say that if someone comes to unschooling thinking that it will be just sitting there while the kids fend for themselves and that it is a piece of cake think again!
That is not to say it is not wonderful and, yes, easier and more peaceful, but not in the way many think it is.
