I posted this earlier today on another list, and thought it would be good to have here, too. Most of the lists and blogs about unschooling are written by moms, but helping dads learn about unschooling is important, too - whether they're dads who work outside the home or those few who get to be the at-home parent.

Sandra's Big Book of Unschooling is a good one for leaving in the bathroom - lots of short essays:

And Joyce's site is often favored by dads, especially those with a logical turn of mind:
http://joyfullyrejoycing.com/

But although dads aren't quite as prolific as moms, there are a few unschooling dad blogs:

(Jeff Sabo - lots of mom appeal, too)

http://pvmaro.blogspot.com/
(Frank Maier doesn't write a ton about unschooling, but he's devoted to it. He's both cynical and wittily articulate, which will appeal to some more than others.)

http://www.thebarkingcow.com/
(John Gold - mostly older posts, and a wild, wicked sense of humor)

http://thewonderfulhappens.blogspot.com/
(Rob in BC - mostly a photo blog)

http://uncommonranting.blogspot.com/
(Alex Bradstreet - includes several recent essays on "deschooling society")

http://theparentingpit.com/
(Arun's blog - they're not unschooling at the moment, due to health issues, but some very good posts over the years)

Bob Collier's "Parental Intelligence Newsletter" doesn't only focus on unschooling, but does explore a wide range of issues related to learning and parenting, including a great deal about natural learning:

Meredith, thanks for posting this list. I posted the links in our local unschooling group because there are several dads there who reading about unschooling. Thanks especially for sharing The BArking Dog...truly very funny and so inspiring!
