This is an announcement about another unschooling list.

I found out indirectly yesterday that the list associated with
www.unschooling.com is now moderated.

I'm not planning to go back to it, but I do expect there are people who left
it who would be interested in going back now that peace is more likely.

Yeah, it has been for a week or two now.

It's definitely more peaceful. I don't know if anyone actually talked with
the chief offenders or whether they just realized they had to stop now that
it's moderated.

Oh, I'm sure the waters will be tested again at some point! :) But not to
worry. . . as Scar said, "Be Prepared", and we are.

Scar said that? Was it before or after he killed Mufasa? I'm trying
to recall the context... <g>

Been gone for a few days - fixing to leave for a few more once we get
all the presents wrapped and the goodies baked. Thrilled to be
heading over the mountain and spending Christmas with my family
(including my *DAD!*) for the first time since we left Alaska.
Yippeeeee!

It's a song with the hyenas when he's planning the take-over.

That's why I never heard that line! I have always fast forwarded through
that song. Always. We have never heard it in its' entirety.

Not to worry Tia. . . hopefully we (moderators) will be able to "handle" this
one without too much fuss. ;)

I hope so too - but I wish it didn't have to be handled at all!

Gads! I left that list and now I'm feeling sorry for you, Tia. I
thought my head would shoot off if I read too many more of those posts.
You are brave.

It's been very quiet until yesterday. Someone posted about a teenaged son
and how she was leaning toward unschooling. Bridget had to post something
about how unschooling doesn't work for every kid and used her son as her
example. A couple of people called her on it. In her last post, she said
goodbye. Usually I feel badly when someone quits a list in a huff, but in
this case I'm hoping she makes good on her threat.

Oh please. She swore she was an unschooler and we couldn't say she wasn't,
no matter how clueless she proved herself to be about it.

(I'm talking about "it" eeeeeeek!!)

Okay, the real "IT" is not any individual, but people who will go to any
means (except to actually unschool) to get (who? the nuns of Holtism? the
most prolific on some particular discussion?) someone to declare that they
are unschooling. Or that unschooling is broad enough to include the
particular curriculum bits and coercion they are clinging to.

WHY!? You don't even get a discount at Target for being an unschooler. You
don't get to sit in the front at conferences. You don't get diddly except
the satisfaction of being cool and courageous or something.

I guess we're just cool.

Oh ye Californians--is the editorial that was in the back of your newsletter
in the issue before this fall's conference available to post here? The one
about unschooing being cool? It said it better than I'm thinking it.

And I think that's been a positive outcome of the split. It often felt like
people expected Sandra to fight any "Let's stick to unschooling advice"
battles. And when it came up this time, people felt the vacuum and rushed to
fill it. :-)

WHy do I get the feeling it was a"drama queen" reaction to see if she'd get
an outpouring of support and"oh, no, darling, don't leave here because
your insights are so wonderful and we'd miss you terribly. boo-hoo-hoo.'"?

I kind of thought she wanted to stick around to see what we'd say about her
after she "left". She still hasn't posted anything.

Actually we had a couple of women do that on the Canadian list. They came
on and started a nasty religious flame war, left in a huff, then came right
back on with different names and addies. I clued in pretty quickly when
these supposedly new members started defending the two who had just left
(that they had never "met") but didn't know how to out them. Stuart did
though. Too funny.

How did he do that? I'm convinced one of the trouble people on the
unschooling-dotcom list signed on with another email address. The alternate
"person" unsubbed from the list a few weeks ago. But it would be nice to
know how to "out" someone in case one's suspicions are raised again!

Is this Stuart Brook BTW?

The same. He figured it out from the headers somehow. Want me to ask him?

I'm trying to figure out who this trouble person is. The two who cause the
most trouble (in my opinion) are at it again today using their regular addies.
