Wasn't any plane I was on.

It did seem to take me forever to get home. I was at the airport hours early
(so I could get a ride, and I didn't mind, because I'm reading a good book),
and then both plane left late and detoured around storms, so we landed in ABQ
at 6:40 or so instead of 4:30. I took my poor patient friend (who hadn't
called ahead, but just sat in the airport chatting with strangers and reading
the paper all that time) to dinner and came home and got in bed and stayed
until this morning.

I've been trying to figure out what happened with that! lol I know I
wanted it, I thought I had ordered it, but I didn't get it. I'll
have to re-order it. In the meantime, I've listened to both of the
Mathematical Joy tapes, the Unschooling panel, and the video tape
one. ALL very good.

My husband especially enjoyed the video game tape. He has always
been into video tapes and would have loved to have been allowed to
stay home from school and get into video games and different kinds of
computer things. Right now he's in a state job that he hates but
gives him good pay and security, and at least he'll get to retire
early. (I think when he's 50). But he often wonders how different his
life would have been if his parents had that attitude toward video
games.

Sandra darling...........


You posted a while back the link that I need to find the lost books of the
bible , like the book of Thomas. etc..

Well, when my hardrive crashed a couple of months ago, I realize that I lost
that link and have been trying to find it.
I was hoping that I would find it written somewhere.

If there is no trouble, could you send that link again?

Dear Sandra,
Aside from the topics that have occured on the list of which are pretty

you did make an accusation toward Teresa in forwarding email to me.
I do object, when I go to the extent of trying to explain how the situation

It was no excuse, but total honesty on my part.

You said you always put fw: on your mail to the list.
That isn't true. The only two which had fw: were the two you answered when

<<I don't think in this instance, I deserved this type of response from you.>>

I'm sorry the criticism and meanness made me angry.
I'm sorry I didn't just let other people defend me, but what happened was
other people being attacked for defending me, and that is what sparked my
anger.

I don't think I deserved the response I got from you when you rushed in to
defend Teresa from something maybe she just really needed to think about.
Helping people NOT think is never in my top hundred things to do, so I was
frustrated that you seemed to be doing that. I know I didn't deserve the
response from the "I'm-new-here / I've been here before" drive-by poster.

Accusing people of being followers isn't about unschooling.
Talking about how people write here isn't about unschooling.

I want to read about unschooling and I want to share my family's unschooling
experiences with other people. I appreciate any help with that and I don't
appreciate attacks and disruption of the list.

Ok, thanks for the email back, I defended Teresa, as I also
did not understand where you were comming from when
you wrote about modeling behaviors. To me Teresa's
original post caught me eye as it was very honest. The information
back that she was getting was fantatic, I could not understand
your reasoning for your response, genitic was ok, but the modeling
just didn't fit. And if it was modeling behavior for instance after me
or my husband, I don't think I would have even wanted to share it with the
group.

Kim, you sound to me like a compassionate, loving, protective mom. After
the experience he had in school, I'd say that any fear he has of other
children is a reasonable response to a bad situation. We are all made of
different stuff. Some folks might want to rush back into a situation like
that with their chests all puffed up; others would not (I'm one of the
'others'). Your honoring Who He Is by allowing him to approach this
situation in the way that works best for him is not the "problem," as those
two therapists told you. I think it's part of the solution. Another thing
that I think would be part of the solution is for him to be able to talk to
you ~ in his own time ~ about what he's feeling and thinking and how he
views the world. You are his safe harbor. You can be his nonjudgmental
sounding board who listens compassionately and only gives advice when asked.

>They then continued to tell us that if we were to homeschool him and there

"No choice" as THEY see it from their limited perspectives. Their
prescriptions for his "mental well being" may be helpful and may not (i.e.,
what if one of the online penpals turns out to be not such a nice
person?). I hear that you are trying to do what is best for your son, but
I think you can give yourself a lot more credit; we all have a lot to learn
(that's what we're doing on this Earth, I believe). You have the gift of
your instincts and your obvious love for your son. I think that following
your instincts, listening to your heart, and relying on the knowledge that
no one knows your son better than you do will help you help him more than
anything or anyone else.

If your son is enjoying his time online, great. If not, how would you feel
about letting him let it go? How would you feel about letting him choose
when and on what terms to welcome other children back into his life?

I agree with Mary (I think :-): Your son is a lucky boy who's learning
compassion from compassionate people (you!).

All the best to you!

To put this in perspective, very few therapists have any clue what children
are naturally like. They only know what *schooled* kids are like. They know
the "normal" way that kids adapt to being forced to spend 6 or more house a
day in an artificial environment.

When school is taken out of the mix, then therapists are lost without
realizing it. The personalities and reactions of homeschooled kids are
different than schooled kids. Without having to compensate for forced
socialization and forced learning, kids behave differently. And some of
those different behaviors would be irrational and unworkable in school.
(Like an 8 yo who still clings to her mother in social situations.) So
therapists are going to assume that the child has problems when the only
"problem" the child has is not having to adjust themselves to the unnatural
environment of school.

Society thinks it's normal for 4, 5 and 6 yos to be out navigating the world
on their own for 6+ hours a day. But when it's expressed like that, why
*would* it be normal? Why would a 4-6 yo need to be away from his or her
family? Kids adapt. But kids adapt to being homeless too. Just because kids
can find a way to cope, doesnt mean that something is good for them.

There are two problems mixed together. There's the damage that school did to
your son. And there may be personality factors. First I'd deal with the
damage done by school. I'd help him feel safe at home. (And if he doesn't
enjoy online relationships and your making him, then he isn't going to feel
safe. Home won't feel like a haven for who he is. It's going to feel like
another place where he needs to be something he's not in order to be
accepted.)

Later I'd help him find a comfort level of being with other kids. It could
be he's an introvert and really doesn't need other people much. Being an
introvert I can asure you enjoying being alone is perfectly normal! It could
be he much prefers one on one with another child who shares his interests.
That could be more difficutl to find but it may be what he needs and well
worth the effort.

> How are we supposed to know? We
> are trying to do what is best for our son and like I said before we have a
> lot to learn.

That's not an easy question to answer. We're kind of trained to accept what
experts tell us. We've learned to accept that "truth" may not make much
sense and just trust experts that know a lot more than we do.

So perhaps look at who your son is right now and help him be who *he* wants
to be. Give him opportunities to stretch and grow, but make the focus not on
what you want for him, but on what he wants for himself.

Those kids hurt him!! Wouldn't you tell your son to run away from a man with
a knife, a menacing figure in a dark alley, a maniac with a baseball bat
aimed at his head?! He was trapped in an obviously dangerous situation with
those other kids. You're saving him.

Maybe you can find a local homeschooling group. In my experience,
homeschooled kids are much more accepting than ps kids. And the big
difference is that he'll be safe. He won't be trapped if there's a problem,
left to "work it out" on his own.

I'm not opposed to online buddies at all. I think being online chatting or
gaming is one of the best ways to learn to write quickly and clearly and
well. I was just pointing at what seemed (and was, now I see) an
indication that he had been put there.

I can think of hundreds of WORSE things parents could make a kid do! And I
do agree with the therapist in a way. If he's home and can have friends at
that distance it will help him with in-real-life socialization. He can work
some social thinking out without people crowding him and looking at him.

Sandra

Rachel Ann

I agree with everything Mary has said.

In addition, I would work on having him form one new, good, relationship at
a time.
What you may want to do is contact a local homeschooling group, explain the
situation, and ask the leader of the group if she can talk to parents of
children your sons age (11-16) and help arrange to meet just one or two
children at a time.

Homeschooled kids are much more open to other people, and other people's
needs, and they are more apt to be receptive and understanding of his
situation.

Other ideas may be a small extra-curricular class or activity that isn't a
competitive group activity...e.g. Art class, music class, chess club ,
palentology club, zoo club or similar clubs where they aren't rough and
tumble (if he is suffering from post-traumatic shock, then even an innocent
game of rough housing could upset him.) and anything group is cooperative by
nature.

Just a suggestion from this neck of the woods...

Hugs to you and your son...

be well,
Rachel Ann

I definitely agree with this. Especially the part about following your heart
and what you feel is best for you son. Been through the whole "listen to the
therapists they know what's best ignore what you think route." Total mistake
on my part. Let your son be home and safe and happy with you. Let him figure
out what he needs and wants in his own time. If he wants to stop the on line
friends, it's okay. I don't see where that will be a bad thing. Once he
feels totally secure and has the power to choose completely, he'll make the
right choices for himself.

But if he doesn't want to have an online buddy I wouldn't force
him. When we tried a cyber-charter school for a few months they had
a place where kids could chat safely and my daughter HATED it. I
think it would have been harmful if I had told her that she HAD to
chat with these kids and get to know some of them.

Now, about a year later, dh let her set up her own character on his
everquest game, and she is running around and sometimes typing
things to the other players. She still doesn't have a whole lot of
confidence when she has to type something to another player, but I
can see it improving her confidence in writing a LOT.

My kids are older, and I read really fast and type like the wind.

(Or as my sister pointed out once, I can type faster than I can think. <g>)
