ALL THE TIME I click that I have read and understood the contract with iTunes or Amazon or whatever, and though I used to read them years ago, I stopped.  Now I will agree to anything to get them to let me to the next page.

When Keith and I bought our house, there was a stack of paper about a foot high to sign, and the title-company employ who was summarizing them at lightning speed knew we couldn't, wouldn't, read them all.

So when people have joined this discussion lately, there was something like that.  :-)  It's not a foot high, and it's not tiny print and it's not in "legalese."  Joyce wrote it.   Lots of people have said "yes."  Only one has said "No," after reading it.

People who have been in the discussion for a long time probably have never seen it.  Here it is, as a review and reminder, and as a thank you from me to Joyce for having devised it.   And a poo-on-yahoogroups for changing the format of the group so that we need to approve members. :-)

The Always Learning list is DIFFERENT! Please read and reply.

Unlike most unschooling lists, the Always Learning list digs into the inner workings of parenting practices. List discussion focuses on what helps and hinders learning and relationships. 

Everyone who posts -- whether a question or a reply -- should want to see their ideas analyzed under an unschooling light. 

The list thrives on unschooling questions and discussion! :-) But it's also perfectly okay to sit back and follow the discussion. (All new members are encouraged to do just that for awhile to get a feel for the list.)

Many find the analysis helps them clear out hidden baggage, think more clearly and become the radical unschooling parents they want to be. Some find it uncomfortable.

If Always Learning sounds like a list you'd like to try reply "Yes". If not, reply "No," and best wishes in your unschooling and finding a list that fits your unschooling needs

Don't respond to that, above, please—not with a "yes" or "no," anyway.  If you can see it, you're already in the group!  


I was trying to share what new members (applicants) see before they join. 


I used to LOVE yahoogroups.

The settings of the group say we can edit posts.


I went to try to find out HOW, so I could add at the bottom of the first post "don't respond."  Yahoogroups "help" says:


"Can I remove my name or personal information from a post?

If a message has already been posted to a group, you won't be able to edit or remove any information from it. If you want to remove it, you can delete the message ."

Oh, joy.  I didn't want to delete it.  I wanted to make it better. :-)
