Eh? Are you sure you are not mixing metaphors? How can the boy be an
unschooler and have a time when his school work is done? Unschoolers
don't do
school work. My children use math every day, probably every hour. And
yet they
have never had one minute of "math work". Math is part of life and normal
trafficking in everyday interests and living. It's not possible for them
to 'do
poorly' in math, since they don't "do math" in the schooling sense. But
when
the measure, extent, quantity etc. of something is needed, they come up
with the
solution in their heads and it is invariably correct.
