I have been homeschooling for 23 years, blogging and speaking about it, because it's my passion. We practice a "relaxed" approach, but I'm really an unschooler at heart, who fears, like you said, the social expectations. I'd love to know what you think about something I just wrote, "School Hurts Kids" based on my experience as a former high school teacher. https://medium.com/illumination/school-hurts-kids-b23b537319cd
