Hi, I just read this by sandra:
<<I think it helps in ALL those cases to think more in terms of clarity,
understanding and learning than of any larger or secondary words. We
don't need "academics"; we need learning. We don't need "intellect";
we need thought and the consideration of ideas.<<

I really like that.
thanks.

I dont know if I told you (all), but I started an italian list for "apprendimento naturale"
the address is:
http://it.groups.yahoo.com/group/apprendimentonaturale/?yguid=286713246
it is definitely new, but I am finding alot of people interested.

but most people dont read english and I cant decide which article to translate first.

any favorites for absolute newcomers to even the idea of homeschooling?

(I had done a few last summer, but the computer "ate" them :-( )

thanks, melissa

Joyce's page on the philosophy of unschooling, maybe:

http://joyfullyrejoycing.com/unschooling/unschoolingphilosophy.html

Maybe it's too detailed. Maybe you could summarize it in simpler
Italian and refer people to Joyce's site if they want the original all-
embroidered version. Some of it might not translate to Italy
culturally and referentially, either.
