hi, i'm rebecca in tooele, utah. i read from the list every morning, tea in hand, finding encouragement and support. thank you! i have three children hannah (dd9), jerusha, (dd7), and eli (ds4). we've always homeschooled and began our journey to unschooling about a year ago. i began looking into unschooling, reading john holt years before. one day i questioned, "why not?" that began a fabulous chain reaction and now our home is a hub for creativity, exploring passions, a sanctuary where all are respected and loved.

i need help! i'm searching for unschoolers in the salt lake city, utah area. i am having a difficult time finding unschool support. a friend and i recently started a yahoo group for utah unschoolers. so come take a look because we'd love to make connections with others on the same journey of living every day joyfully and soulfully.

glad to be here,
rebecca cobb

Hi Reba. I lived in Park City for 4 years. For a long time I felt like I was the ONLY unschooler in the state so I know how you feel. I used to travel down to Salt Lake City a lot to find connections for my kids. I only know of one unschooling family in Park City, but knew many relaxed homeschoolers/almost unschoolers in the Salt Lake valley.

Are you a member of SLHE?

Have you announced your new yahoo group on the Salt Lake City and Utah elists? That helps get the word out. This website http://www.xmission.com/~nprw/HS-ingUtah.html has listings for most of the groups in the state. Put your group on there and send notices to all the lists.

I'm collecting state information - how do unschoolers manage to
unschool while meeting state requirements?

Maybe you could talk about that among yourselves on your new Utah
list and send me a summary?

Thanks,
