Subject: Re: [Unschooling-dotcom] Advice WASHelpful Discussion
Definitely! I am trying to let go more and more each day, to trust my children, and come closer and closer to unschooling. I value the opinions of veteran unschoolers as a sort of beacon lighting the way. When I entered "homeschooling" at yahoogroups.com, hundreds of choices were available. I chose this list, and others for their unschooling perspective. If I were to ask the same question on a non-unschooling list, I would get a wide range of answers/opinions. But I am specifically searching for feedback with an unschooling perspective.
Keep it coming Sandra and others!!
Thanks!
Shelly

I thank God for the folks who were bold enough to tell me "that's not
unschooling"! For unschooling to work there has to be a leap of faith
and it's all about trusting your child/ren to learn. When I first
studied unschooling my gut told me it was true but I clung to my "school"
mentality. Until I let go completely I didn't see it work, since I did I
know that I know it happens.
Folks, like Sandra, who held up the standard in spite of the torpedos
gave me a vision to focus on.
