Always Learning List at yahoogroups
Discussion for homeschooling fans of John Holt, whose books Learning All the Time, Never Too Late, and Teach your Own have made unschooling a sweet and viable option for thousands of families. This is a moderated group, with trapdoors for the uncooperative. (Not moderated in the advance-approval way, but in the be-nice-to-play way.) It's an idea group and is intended to lean more toward pure unschooling than neutral, general homeschooling discussion—there are hundreds of general homeschooling discussions for newcomers. It's to focus more toward how people learn no matter where in the world they are, rather than on what's legal in any particular country or jurisdiction.The reason I'm preserving it is that others in the past have changed list descriptions and then denied it was ever any other way. For me it seems the description is a kind of contract with the readers, and it shouldn't be changed easily. Following a discussion on the list July 17th and 18th the intro was changed to: How and why does unschooling work? What kind of parents and parenting does it take? What will help, and what will hinder? |
