Joanna, since I said that my post was "NOT a challenge," I was clearly not
intending it to be one. Your hostility is baffling since I addressed the
push/pull of conforming and unschooling and the duality of them both arising
in one situation.
The concept that unschooling means learning happens all of the time means
that the very essence of Shelley's son's experience was full of learning.
My post was on point about unschooling. Joanna, I fail to see how yours,
attacking my encouragement, was on topic at all =/
Shelley, I'm glad that you got a few replies as feedback to consider in your
decision with your son. Good luck =) It sounds like he found a great thing!
All learning is great! I'm not here to argue that but I won't be lumped into
a negative group of people that attack unschooling, which I did not and do
not do.

Kristine,
I want to apologize for my post. I read it with a certain slant, and
in a certain mood and reacted grumpily.
If it makes you feel any better, I snapped at my dh quite a bit
yesterdy too. :-)
Sorry.
Joanna-whose having a much better day today.
