Just wanted to let everyone know about the Unschoolers Network 25th
Anniversary Conference coming up on Saturday, June 29 at Brookdale
Community College in Lincroft New Jersey. This conference is a must
for anyone in the New York/New Jersey area and well worth a roadtrip
for unschoolers in other states.

John Taylor Gatto will give the keynote speech on "The Paradox of
Extended Childhood." FUN Books will sponsor a special showing of "A
Life Worth Living" a video tribute to the late John Holt. FUN Books
will have a variety of titles by John Holt available as well as
backissues of Growing Without Schooling, the magazine he started.
John Holt is generally recognized as the father of the modern
homeschooling movement and the person who coined the
term "unschooling."

The conference will feature dozens of great workshops and a resource
fair with a variety of new and used materials.

Be sure to share this information with any new homeschoolers you know
as well as veteran homeschoolers. This conference will appeal to both
and will also include workshops for families with younger children as
well as those with teens.
