A young person I know has started a new blog (
http://www.homeschoolretrospective.com/) which I think is going to be very
interesting. She was always unschooled along with her two sisters. This is
from her first post:

"I am nearly the age my mother was when I was born. And I have been looking
back at her choices, her experience as a parent. I have been looking at
myself and my sisters. Who we are, now, as shaped by the unconventional
approach to our education.

I am writing this blog to ask the question: what is the difference is
between the first generation of homeschooling parents to bring the idea
into the mainstream, and the first generation of homeschooled and
unschooled adults to reach parenting age? In that space and time between
generations, what have we learned? How have we changed? What would I do
differently from my mom?"

Photos, copies of journal pages her mom wrote starting in the late 80s, and
her comments are all pretty interesting.

I found this yesterday too, and it looks like a fantastic read. I started
reading it to my always unschooled 13 year old and he is loving it. It�s
helped him appreciate the journals and photos I�ve continued to keep over
the years and I love that he will have a picture of someone who�s never
been to school, just like him.

I�m not too sure where the author of the blog stands with radical
unschooling but it will be interesting to here her journey unfold as it�s a
very new blog.
