Hey Sandra,

In response to your query "As there's nothing in the radical
unschooling-extended-to-parenting that's anything LIKE "do what I say," then
what do you see would be a benefit of
radical unschoolers studying TCS closer? If we're already living it, why
read rhetoric and theory?" Honestly, I say none at all. Unless of course
you are an information hound and just love the intellectual banter that the
discussion of theories takes on. Like I said in my earlier email, I have
raised my three kids with TCS tenets, although never knew there was a theory
or a label for my approach. I can also say that I was thrilled to discover
the simple tenets of TCS because it allowed me to describe to others what my
parenting approach was in a nutshell, and I had been unable to articulate it
so simply before. Aside from that, I too find (as a few other posts have
mentioned) the TCS discussion lists cumbersome and much too bogged down with
semantics.
