Now, it's not that not going to school makes you stupid, however, I think it deprives a kid from learning complex topics that cannot be grasped or learned by one self.
But of course, that's just me. You asked the Man, so I'll step aside  . |
You can expose your children to those topics just fine. The point of unschooling is to introduce them to things, and then get the hell out of their way, not bore the crap out of them and make them learn stuff they have no interest in.
