Hi,
My name is Mark, I'm a 39 year old divorced father of 2, and I am
homeschooling my 11 year old son this year. His mother is a Waldorf
School teacher, and he's been in the school since Kindergarten. His
class no longer has a teacher, so I am pursuing my ideal of
homeschooling. His mother is stuck on the Waldorf thing, and I value a
lot of what it has given to him. But I'm curious about the unschooling
concept. Does anyone out there have any experience with Waldorf
Education, and the comparison between the two approaches?

I expect that I would not be able to convince his mother to allow me
to completely abandon the school approach. Any suggestions as to how
to 'undermine' it?

I was turned on to it through Grace LLewellyns book.
I'm just learning about all this,too..

Hi, Mark --

I read a book recently called _Coloring Outside the Lines (by Roger Schenk,
I think), that talked about how to have well-educated children in spite of
sending them to school. However, it doesn't address how to have *free*
children.
