An off-list reply to me.
And I don't even own or moderate this list!

Honest is allowing people to respond, not letting them
to post and then cutting them off so that other are free
reply with fear of rebuttal. You guys live very sheltered
lives.

Kelly received this on the side. Not good.=
academia says that we are living sheltered lives (unlike those who live in
school-land).
Michael runs his own list, turns out, where he's badmouthing unschooling and
other things.
He sent an announcement to invited people to his list, but because it was
insulting it wasn't passed through tot he list.
He's so worked up he can't even write well, and yet he keeps writing. Some
kind of mania. He should spend that time with his kids instead.
That list, if anyone wants to go and discuss these things with him on his own
turf, is
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HSDiscussions/
What I don't think he mentioned there, and didn't mention here, is that he's
working on a PhD in Education. What he does mention there is that he was
thrown off another homeschooling list recently. He detailed it. Honestly, he
could be spending that time with his children.
One of our moderators (there are several) wrote this of the list, and it
applies here:
-=- This list is for people who want to unschool, or who (whether
they want to or not) think unschooling might be what their kids need.
-=-The purpose of this list is not to wrestle with people who don't want to
unschool just for exercise, or to entertain spectators.
-=-. . .that's the purpose of the waiting period, to let people do some of
their
own reading and thinking, rather than banging their spoons on their
trays and insisting we feed them whatever they want.-=-
Last night Keith and I were reviewing the day, and we both had stories of our
kids being sweet to each other, and funny, and surprising us with their
generosity. Not many people's days end so nicely.
