Cathie, thank you for your reply. How long has Megan been unschooling?

Katrina has almost no internet experience, but she is beginning to show some
interest. One of the big results of being labeled in school was being
isolated and often scapegoated, so she has real anxiety about other kids.
We have tried to artificially create situations where she could be
successful, but her anxiety is so overwhelming that these ended in failure,
too. I think it's possible that meeting others on the internet could really
help. I will help her get her an internet address of her own in the next
week, and please, if Megan could write her that would be great.

Cathy
