Hi,Roberta~
It was really nice to read your response to Sandra.You managed to
stay restrained&intelligent even though you felt that she was putting
you down.Thanks.
I haven't met Sandra,but the feeling I get after having read quite a
bit of what she's written is that she just very strongly believes in
unschooling&wants to make sure that all who say they're unschooling
are approaching it as a 'whole life',not just in the areas
involving 'book learning'.She also seems to be very busy&comes off as
sharp when her words may just be more 'to the point'(HER point~lol!)
than some of us are ready for!(throw in a LOT of 'caring'&you'll be
able to see that her message is on your side)
Don't think I'm expressing this very well~just wanted you to know
that I felt you'd said it all when you explained that you&your
daughter had talked about your situation&it clearly showed me that
she wants to help so that you do have more time together&for
yourself.She sounds like such a sweetheart!You HAVE talked to her
about choices&she's making them every day~
We'll be down in the spring but to Playa del Carmen~can't wait!
Terri
~&Sandra~my apologies in advance if I've offended you or gotten it
wrong.My DH says I am the most blunt person on the face of the
Earth....

I'm trying to make sure all who say they're unschooling are doing anything.
Many don't even want to try to do more than just not have kids in school.

What I am trying to do is make sure that this list (which is my list) isn't
diluted with an air of "whatever."

Might sound close, but there are lots of unschooler's whove never heard of me
and I'll never hear of them. That's fine.

I want to discuss unschooling, how it works, and how it can work better.

Sandra
