Homeschooling a 13 yr old

This year Leo has decided to take Latin. At first I wondered if he would meet the challenge of this class. You see, we've been unschooling him since day one and this is one if his first classes where homework and tests are expected of him. I am thrilled to say that he is doing well in this class and we don't have to fight with him to do the work. As an unschooler, I have had many moments where I wondered if we were doing the right thing. Reading and picking the brains of unschoolers that have grown kids really helped along the way and it's exciting to experience the stuff I have read about with homeschooling. He is also continuing to work on math through the Life of Fred book(fractions). I like this math book because not only does it help with learning math, but it helps with reading and introduces other subjects like history. As for his reading, he is into the Manga series. Still loves to build with legos.
