Why we have a schedule...

Just to clarify: We keep a schedule mostly because we have so many activities that we'd never make it to any of them if we didn't. Every weekday has various registered classes, etc. for various members of the family, and around these I have "planned" to do various family activities, so that we can do some of the same things weekly, and thereby stay at least a wee bit focused on some of our interests. (It's so easy to get distracted, otherwise!) But there are still large, multiple-hour chunks of time each day for us to spend following our inspirations -- that's one of the cornerstones of our unschooling intention.
