Honestly, I'm not sure if it's something I could recommend to someone else. I was unschooled for most of my middle school to my high school years; so I was kind of okay because I already had a foundation of knowledge to work with in terms of English and math. You definitely need to have an interest in a few topics in order to motivate yourself to learn about them in a consistent basis. Both my charter and public high school years were pretty easy, though that could just as easily be a testament to how subpar the education system is in the US instead of how effective unschooling was. That being said, I think I personally benefited from the experience: I got really familiar with using computers, learned some decent cooking skills, had a lot of leisure time, and worked through a lot of personal issues. My only real regrets are that I never took up coding during the time and that I didn't think about pirating text books.
