My unschooling evolution
Ren Allen
I don't think I was NEARLY as difficult as Kelly remembers..but, I
struggled the hardest with the whole chore and television issue.
The education part was no big deal really, I "got" that back in
2000/2001. The chore and television issues were tough for me. Given
my background-raised in a cultish Christian church in which
television was viewed as evil-it's amazing I ever got it!!:)
It was 2002 when I made the shift on the chore/television stuff. In
2001 I had lightened up a LOT about tv, but it really sunk in about
three years ago, thanks to Anne, Kelly, Joyce, Pam, Sandra, Rue, Deb
and many other beautiful voices.
I have archived a few of my own posts about the chore issue, but
unfortunately, the tv ones got deleted somehow. I can't find them at
unschooling.com either. I DID post them before, I believe at AL or
UD, but it would be a major pain to find them in the archives.
I wasn't so negative about it, I simply agreed to disagree. I really
thought I was right.....but also thought these ladies were onto
something.
Turns out they were.;)

I used to tune in *just* to see whether Ren had written something! <bwg>
It was always fun!
