I do have to comment here. I have signed off other
email unschooling lists because of the kind of jumping
on wording and a harsh judgemental atmosphere. I like
to have a respectful and non judging atmosphere and a
forum to not be afraid to put out ideas and ask
questions without fear of being judged. We are all
trying to do our best with our children and i think
when we share our experiences it is very helpful, but
i will have to sign off this list also if it becomes a
jump on people and judge thing instead of a "this is
what works for me in my family" . <<<


No one is being forced to stay here. Sign on or off as you see fit.

Describing how someone posts is clearly against list guidelines. Please
refrain from doing so.


>>>>>i have noticed a negative and judging feeling thing
out there on this list and wonder if i am the only one
feeling this. I am very confident in my lifestyle
choice and family philosophy but if i was new in
establishing this i would definately be afraid to ask
the questions if i thought i would be slammed
verbally. <<<<


Well, we're only a month old and already have 232 members and 1898 messages.
It doesn't seem that folks are afraid to ask questions here.

If anything seems to be getting out of hand, I assure you, Ren, Deb, Rue,
and/or I will step in a correct it.

End of discussion.

I guess i have my answer here. there will be a harsh
atmosphere and i dont have time or energy for that in
my life. If anyone out there knows of an unschooling
list that is done in a loving,caring and non judging
way please email me off list and let me know.

i will leave you with this. and wish you all peace

The symptoms of inner peace

1. Atendency to think and act spontaneously rather
than from fears based on past experiences

2. an unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment
3. a loss of interest in judging others
4. a loss of interest in judging self
5. a loss of interest in conflict
6. a loss of interest in interpreting the actions of
others.
7. a loss of ability to worry
8. Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation
9. contented feelings of connectedness with others
and with nature
10. Frequent attacks of smiling through the heart
11. Increasing susceptibility to love extended by
others, as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend
it
12. An increasing tendency to let things happen
rather than to manipulate them and make them happen.

Dina,

You could start your own e-list, and if there is a need for the forum based on the principles you are describing, it would surely grow.

Good Luck,

Leslie
