Sometimes people say unschooling wouldn't work (or isn't working) because their kids are "too lazy” or because they are "always bored.”

But not only are boredom and laziness NOT reasons nor proof that unschooling doesn’t work  - they offer great opportunities to learn new things and to have more bonding experiences.  These moments are a good time for parents to pay closer attention to their child and find out more about who their child is.
