Tell your fren to take a year off. Do the unschooling thing for at least a year. Don’t worry, stats show unschooling is just as good as public schooling, but with benefits like no indoctrination. Been homeschooling my kids from the start, not unschooling but still relaxed.

I wish it were appropriate to tell people exactly how great homeschooling is and how bad public (even private) schools are. Maybe just one day a month. But instead I usually just bite my tongue.
