And that's fair. I'm not really interested in defending or attacking any educational model (though I am a fan of the democratic schools method in general), I just... really hate it when people act open-minded when they're not, and are hypocritically stupid besides.

"And then I can't teach my daughter anything!"

Well, if you were unschooling, you would be waiting for her to be willing to learn, now wouldn't you? Which kinda explains why the way you've been trying the method doesn't work for you, because you're not doing that.
