I feel alot the same. This list has helped me tremendously. I have not
necesarily gotten support but i have gotten to hear differeing views and i
use those to push me and make myself think. Unschooling at the finest for
me.

I have been watching what isaac does naturally and what he asks and i have
been amazed to see him ask to do division, cus he neeeded it for a game. we
have had discussions on philosophy and G-d and on the space time continuum.
That is along with checking how rafts float in a pool , how far he can leap
and how much of a wave he can make by doing a cannon ball.

I think I was mind controlled by the school system. I didnt think it was
that bad, but it must have been. i think I am coming out of a fog.

I am still scared adn unsure. does this feeling ever go away.would i feel
better if i used a log book so i could see what he is learning. and why the
hell do i have to see it to be comfortable.
