unschooling in vt ? from Ellen(about packet)
Melanie Ilsley
OH NO...it is really not that bad, it seems over whelming, but we sent in two pages, very
general, and I think Ellen, you are making this harder than it needs to be. LOOK at the unit
studies pages. And remember you are unschooling, you can't write a specific curriculum and
expect your child to follow it, to the letter or at all. My 8 yr old daughter and I sat down and
brainstormed topics she THOUGHT she MIGHT be interested in. Then I wrote "possible" ways
to cover them. Nothing is written in stone. Melanie in VT

Hi Melanie - I don't have a Unit Studies page.... I got the "Guidelines for Home Study in Vermont" dated 8/23/2005 and a Vermont Home Study Newsletter 2005-2006 with the appropriate forms to fill out. Can you give me an idea of what it says or where I'd find it?
