87: The Catholic Radical Unschool Cheese and other stories

This week, I answer the following questions:

• What is unschooling?
• Why is unschooling different from other methods of homeschooling? Could it not be a method at all?
• Should we make kids do things they don't want to do? Would that be good for them?
• Is there such a thing as providing a too happy life for our kids? Should we get them used to the fact that life in the bigger world won't always be happy?
• Are we easily distracted? Have most of us lost the ability to concentrate and do deep work?
• Do we need social media? What if we have something we want to share with the world?
• Can series such as Downton Abbey lead to some wonderful learning experiences?
• Are quiet times valuable and even essential?
• What is The Catholic Radical Unschool Cheese?
• Can unschooling kids work hard?
• Is a parent's attitude important when it comes to chores and other mundane tasks?
• What have my children been doing recently?
