Briefly: a quality education involves a wide set of subjects, some of which are distasteful or boring to the childish mind. Unschooling does not demand attending to those. Thus, it will produce a narrowness of knowledge in the profound majority of children who are involved, barring the genuine polymath (n.b.: hacker news seems to have a disproportionately high number of polymaths. It's entirely plausible that you, gentle reader, are such a polymath. Please don't generalize from your experience to everyone). That is a disservice to society and the child.
