I don't see it as "opposing" unschooling, but they are two different things. People do combine elements of both successfully in their own eclectic blend, but it's like combining orange and grape soda. Both sodas, both delicious, no issues with people who want to mix them -- but, for clarity's sake, I don't like seeing them called the same thing. I like things clearly and distinctly defined, and I suspect that the muddling of terms is how so much myth got tangled up with people's impressions of CM.

Edited to say --

I hear what you're saying about who your audience is. If I'm talking to people who aren't familiar with homeschooling, then the name Charlotte Mason isn't going to have any meaning for them, so I might use the same approach you've used and just say something like "we're more structured in the morning..." or the name of the curriculum we're using.
