> You are the one who keep talking about stuff that would mean that the kid is put in immediate danger - not me. I never said you #unschooling meant “hey my kid might die if they so choose”.
I'm using the extreme examples to show that of course there must be limits to the "the kid chose it" position and that the "whatever the kid wants" has a very real limit.

No, some unschoolers *do* consider letting the kid play as much video-games as they choose to be the right approach; I think that's a really terrible idea; video-games can literally be as addictive as meth and most likely those parents wouldn't allow their kids to do meth if they asked for it.
I am not talking about homeschooling; I don't agree with the position of homeschooling.
