What kind of homeschool programs, curricula, styles do you use? [View all]

Our son had a strange year at Kindergarten. Academics great, social stuff was not so great. In fact, his last day of school he told me he wants me to teach him. We are going to let him "detox" for the summer and are researching curricula. I'm not sure I am the type of person who wants to buy a program. I've been more interested in "unschooling" but I'm curious what others have used and liked, hated, and why...

Thanks!
