Hi, For some reason I never got this email in a digest. Maybe my
Filters were misbehaving. I went online to read messages today and
found it. Thanks Sandra for your thoughtful reply. I will go visit
the site in the very near future.
Take Care,
Sheri in Olympia

I bet she can get in without "an actual diploma."

Most schools have a small quota to fill of alternative or special
students
who are brought in to enrich the student body. Maybe she could aim
for that
niche instead of just being another in the stream of "actual diploma"
applicants.

A reall letter of application beats the heck out of filling in a form
and
attaching a transcript from a high school.

<<She hasn't

quite let go of the compliant model student persona that she had in

school. She has feelings of failure for being unable to cope with the

system.>>

There are two short articles here I think will help you creatd a new
program
for her which could be the gateway to relaxation for all of you. They
are
"Disposable Checklists for Unschoolers" and "Deschooling."

Another good place to read is the message boards at
