Hi All,



I just wanted to say "Hi" as a new member of the group. I am teaching my
little girl at home - she's 5 years old - and am coming to the realization
that what we have been doing - and the only thing that works with her - is
basically unschooling. I'm looking forward to learning from those
experienced in unschooling and gaining a sense of community rather than
feeling isolated.



Thanks for letting me learn along with everyone else.

Becky S. in Georgia

Hi, Becky. There's some excitement in Georgia this week because
Kelli Traaseth's family just moved there from Minnesota (making those
in Oregon who wanted them to move there a little sad and a little
jealous).



Kelli's blog is

http://ourjoyfullife.blogspot.com/

and so with that you'll know you're not the only on in Georgia.



And here's something along the lines of socializing:

Radical Unschoolers' Network

http://familyrun.ning.com/

It's a little bit like Facebook, but all unschoolers, and it's so new
that you can be one of the first few in there. There are serious
discussions there too, and also fun'n'games.



The AlwaysLearning is fairly serious, for being a big list and for
looking at unschooling from a philosophical and analytical angle.
It's not as serious as it sounds, but it's not a "how's your dog?"
list, either, whereas some others are more chit-chatty.

There are links to lots of new unschooler aids here:

Becky or anyone else:



If the "choose your own adventure in the prairie dog village"
organization of my site bothers you, Joyce has one organized
absolutely differently. Profoundly differently. And some people
like Joyce's writing voice better, too. That has never hurt my
feelings at all. She's very scientific (try to hear Yul Brynner's
voice in "The King and I" on that "scientific").

Thank you so much Sandra for the welcome and the heads up about the new
Georgia resident - I looked at Kelli's blog and she moved to the town where
I grew up! I live less than 20 miles from there now! Very cool :-)

Hoo boy... Now I keep picturing Joyce as bald and in oriental silk top and
pants... :: vbg ::
