I thought I'd introduced myself to the group.
I'm Julie, sahm to Paul and wife of Chip. We live in Missouri. Paul
is 15 months old.

I found John Holt through a question I asked on Mothering.com. I
really enjoy his books, and his way of viewing how children learn. I
look forward to learning more and talking with you all.

I enjoy John Holt's writings a lot, and Deb Lewis who's on the list
but usually quiet is some kind of expert. <g> (Like if this were
Farenheit 451, she would be John Holt, or at least Teach Your Own or
something.)

That said, though, there are some things about John Holt we can't
change and should remember. He was childless, and he never
unschooled anybody. <g> He did encourage a lot of people and cheer
them on and coach them, though! And we try to do that here, too.
You can throw any old questions or concerns out here and people will
help you pick and sort through. Real situations are better than
hypotheticals, but if the hypothetical is useful and interesting, it
might be okay.

"It depends" is the answer to lots of things, and then we can discuss
it some more!
