I mostly unschooled both of my children (now 13 and 18), and this was exactly the kind of valuable learning from living that I found to be the most instructive than any other method. It's how kids learn before they're forced into institutional school environments, and it's how we learn as adults once we're finally released from that institution. I was so grateful to be able to entirely sidestep the years of compulsory education, and let my children direct their own education.
