OH yeah. Conservative me.

I'm just multi-talking-taskative.

Me too.

When people ask "are you saying I'm not an unschooler?" to use an example
which didn't happen on this list my choices are to ignore it or say "yes" or
to say "no" and none of them conveys any useful information. What I'm saying
is that some piece of evidence I quoted from some post (often one I didn't
even note the author of) seemed iffy to me, or problematical, or illustrative
of something the parent could look at more closely or from a different angle
if they want unschooling to work optimally.

And I'm lightly flabbergasted (what is "lightly flabbergasted"? "kind
surprised" I guess) when someone on a mailing list for unschoolers isn't
interested in how unschooling can work optimally.

So I'm not trying to pick on individuals at all. I'm hoping people will
throw out ideas to be tumbled around and decorated and wiped off and tossed
back and forth and we'll all know more at the end.
