> peer pressure, bullying, drug & sex culture, and a middling career as a corporate drone?

Unschooling doesn’t make those disappear. I knew plenty of homeschooled kids that had sex and kids before 18, who drank and did drugs, and I’m pretty sure all of them are in middling careers as corporate drones.

While that is true, and there are always exceptions to the rule, being older and more mature when you’re exposed to those things definitely helps.

So many of these kids are on-line, like, a lot… there is no world where they are any more or less mature when they encounter these things.

Unschooling is how you become a grandma at 36 like congressperson boebert.
