Pam Sorooshian found and sent this to me, in reference to a side discussion, about when I left a facebook group. I hadn't remembered clearly.



I think what I wrote is useful for anyone's thinking, about unschooling discussions, or any discussions.

Others who have joined more recently are being pushy and rude to the experienced unschoolers who have the potential to discuss unschooling beneficially. I'm going to leave this group but stay on the Radical Unchooling group, which is more peaceful with twice as many members, because I think "more peaceful" is important to anyone who is trying to move toward unschooling.
