don't see the correlation between maturity and setting boundaries, we
all need to set boundaries, it's part of adulthood.

If you were going on and on like this at my house, I'd probably ask you to
change the subject, and if you couldn't I'd ask you to leave.

As this list was created by me for the purpose of discussing unschooling,
I'm going to ask you to change the subject away from your feelings about posts,
and to unschooling.

-=-It really
was only about not wanting *unnecessary* mean stuff. No where on this
message board does it say "If you post a request, brace yourself for
some serious harshing out",-=-


Shhhhh..... Breathe, please, and calm down. If you have unschooling
comments or questions, post them. If you don't, write elsewhere. A diary, maybe.
To your mom, maybe. Not to the 500 people on my list.

-=- I know none of us will ever have to see one another
face to face and in that there is a security, one in which we can say
*anything* we want to each other, but that doesn't mean that we have to
be mean to each other.-=-

Many people here have met each other at homeschooling conferences. There's
on in Boston in August, if you're interested.

Nobody is trying to be mean to you. People aren't saying things to you they
wouldn't say in person, if you were blocking their attempts to answer your
questions in an unschooling context.

-=-I know I'm not immature nor am I extremely
offensive. I'm a sensitive, loving person who tries to come from the
heart and not strictly from the mind, because when I disconnect from my
heart, I get bitchy and start hurting people's feelings.-=-

This isn't a "feelings" list.
It's to discuss unschooling.
If you can, do.
Whether you wrote from your heart or your mind, do it carefully, proofread,
see if there's anything others could find tacky, and if so don't post it here.

Feel free to report me to yahoo if you want, but I think they'll just think
you're crazy. The list is years old, and quite healthy. All the posts from
all those years are there in the archive for you to read if you want.

There are other unschooling lists. Here are some with addresses:

http://sandradodd.com/lists/other

or you can go to yahoogroups and search for unschooling.

This is certainly not the only place you can learn about unschooling.
