I lost something, and I hope someone here will remember where it is.

Someone had posted that when she first came around she was bothered that we didn't just tell her exactly what to do. Not those exact words. I responded that I was glad she had written that because at the next ALL Unschooling Symposium I had been planning to have a panel discussion on people complaining about the times they had asked "a simple question" and people had given them other kinds of suggestions.

It might have been on facebook. It might've been here.
Anyone recognize it?

Thanks.

It is in the Radical Unschooling Info group on Facebook. Looks like it was posted this past Monday. Sorry I can't post a link now as Logan is using my computer and I'm nursing Gibson.

Hope this helps!

I think I recognized it and found it on facebook. I made a comment on the
post so you'll probably get a notification, I hope. ;)

In another thread here, Leslie Whitney wrote something really good, and particularly useful to me:

-=-in a chat i remember being asked if i thought that unschoolers came from a different planet. in the beginning it seems like it, especially when experienced ones seem to have all the answers, although none seemed to be exactly the answer i was looking for. they were "getting" some thing i just couldn't completely wrap my brain around. i believe it is Sandra that gives the advise, read a little, do a little. boy has hat been helpful and exactly what i am doing. -=-

This coming December, there will be a panel discussion at the Always Learning Live symposium (you can subscribe to the blog already, though not much info is there yet:http://allunschooling2012.blogspot.com/ ), and the topic of the panel will be something like "You didn't answer the question I asked." So I'm glad Leslie gave me something for my collection. :-)

If others have examples or saved links to times someone got frustrated because we wouldn't answer a simple question with a simple answer, bring them on. Thanks!

And for anyone here wanting to see photos of what happened at this year's symposium, they're linked from the-blog-of-the-last-one:
http://alwayslearninglive.blogspot.com/p/photos-and-followup.html

There were 93 people altogether (one was unable to attend at the last minute, but everyone else made it and it was a long way for some of them--England, New Hampshire, New York, Ottowa...)

Next Year's can't be too much bigger, because of space considerations, so if you're interested maybe start stashing airfare money back now. If you change your mind later or it sells out, you'll have some saved-up money. Either way's a win. :-)
