When I tell a story about a family I've known for fifteen years and the kids
are still in my life, there is as much usefulness to that as those who can
make use of it want to take! The lead story at unschooling.com, by Carol
Rice, is there because I know Carol well enough to have gotten her permission
to post it. I know all four of her kids. I knew them before they could
read, and I know them now that they are teens and read. How could it be
something I don't know? I never claim they're my kids. It was at their
house Kirby first played a Nintendo.
I know my sister's family intimately, and the story of their homeschooling is
something I know in detail. (At the moment, one's home, one's in public Jr.
High and one's paying half his tuition to a private school, for the purpose
of being on their basketball team.)
Those are part of my experience.
Each person would have different details or a different flavor, but the basic
facts wouldn't change.
When another homeschooling mom talks to me for hours about how things are
going for her and how her husband feels about this or that, or why she had to
buy Oak Meadoww this year, or how it went putting her kids in a charter
school (and pulling them back out) that becomes part of my own data bank. If
it's someone I know well enough to trust her word and account, I'm willing to
advise others based on her satisfaction or dissatisfaction (Monica liked it,
but Sara didn't...). If it's someone I don't really trust, I just let the
noise flow by and don't save any details for the future.
My life seems always to have includes lots more than my own family.
