"I read what you wrote in your blog and your email about the 4-H
leader being
angry............
I still don't get what your 4-H leader was so upset about"

About the fact that Lesa called some kids out on a really obvious
prejudice!!:) She probably didn't like the light being shined on
"her" group. Ah well..as Kelly's bumper sticker says "The truth will
set you free, but first it will piss you off!"

***Ah, yea, I kind of figured that one out....Just being a bit sarcastic.
Hard to see in emails, but if you knew me.......well.....:o)
Find any ghosts tonight?

And not after the conferences either! Once you go and connect with all these real life unschoolers, your community becomes vast! My kids and I have been all over the country visiting unschoolers we have met on these lists and at conferences. Our lives are full and we've been able to carry that fullness back to our own hometown. It's enabled us to be proud of our "differences" and that has brought like minded souls into our everyday lives.

It can happen. You can create the life you want!

I am seeking out the minority of unschoolers and like minded people (i.e.
attachment parenting...) in my area... I just joined a "crunchy" yahoo group
centralized in a town about 30 - 40 minutes from me... and she said it was
like herding cats... I think we all like to stay in hiding around here
because the mainstream community in our area just runs us off.

anyhow... the conference for this year isn't going to work out... but I can
plan for next year! :)

Well, if it makes you feel better, I got the shunning tonight.:)

We had some ghosthunters here, doing a class for my sis's family and
two of my children. Part of the time they were dousing in my backyard
while our conservative Christian neighbors had some church friends over.

Just a few minutes ago, all of the children that were next door, ended
up in our yard happily chatting with my children. They were interested
in the trampoline and I told Sierra to check with their parents first.
Before she could do that, three parents came RUNNING into my yard
shouting the children's names and literally dragging them out of my
yard as fast as they could. "Kayla come her RIGHT NOW" one of them
screamed.

I yelled "it's fine with us if they want to jump, as long as it's ok
with you"
The mother would hardly look at me but muttered "we're leaving soon".
They're still here. I don't think it had anything to do with needing
to leave...sigh.

jeez... I don't get people... I'm just waiting for the day where certain
peoples decide they don't want their kids playing with my DD anymore.

Hi

Mostly lurker, here, wondering if there are any unschoolers in Medford
Oregon who would like to get together when we are there for the month of
June/early July? My girls are 7 and 2, and will be learing to ride
horesback while we are there visiting family. I am sure we will have
lots of time we could get together in!
