A high schooled kid has written to me for help with persuading a
parent to let him be unschooled. I know there have been such
discussions in the past but I failed to find them. I found a one-
response thing at unschooling.info, but it seems there have been two
or three lengthy ones in the past few years. Does anyone remember or
have time to dig?

Thanks,

Sandra

How about a book? I like "The Teenage Liberation Handbook" by Grace Llewellyn. It has true stories of unschooled teenagers.

I dug and dug, but couldn't find any. I remember them too! I was
trying to remember the names but couldn't. It was for sure on
unschooling.info, that is what I remember too. There were some rather
lengthy convos that involved persuading parents, I remember replying to
some of them.

I'm going to look again, perhaps I'll look under my own name for things
that I've replied to. I hadn't done that yet....

I remember them too but I bet the threads were on the Unschooling.com
boards. I recall specifically creating the folder for teens/kids to
ask questions about unschooling because of those, but they didn't get
the questions the old ones did.

Does the Wayback machine have archives of Unschooling.com?

Yes it does, but not of everything and it's extremely time consuming and
cumbersome to navigate. It has new stuff too, which is annoying a
weird.

I remember some of those on the unschooling dot com forums too, but I
didn't participate in much of those since I was newer and still getting
it myself back in those days! I do remember some on the unschooling dot
info for absolute certain!

I'm almost certain that I remember ones on dot info, because I've never been
on dot com. (Of course there may be more than one bunch.)

I have a hunch they are in the "where do I post this" board and I'll check
although Jenny may be way ahead of me by now.

It was good to read this thread, though very sad for the young person to
have parents so resolutely against unschooling. You'd think that they'd
realize a fourteen-year-old who could express themselves so articulately and
thoughtfully was sure to be an autodidact already, and likely to thrive when
allowed to pursue their own interests!
