I was just wondering overall whether you noticed their username since unschooling is another form of home schooling but with fewer restrictions on how children learn and what they learn. I have a relative who unschooled their kids though I did not take that same path with mine.

Anyway, I know locally that a lot of the kids who are home schooled are outside the public school system for exactly the reasons you describe and I run into them all the time as they work their jobs locally. It's truly a mixed bag kinda like the old saying that the preacher's kids were the most fun at parties.
