I think you missed the point, Ned. It isn't that you aren't stakeholders and
shouldn't be here and be helpful, it is that perhaps you're not as interested
in the day-to-day how to live an unschooling life as others and perhaps that
is why you can't seem to understand or respect the difference between a hsing
politics list and this one.

I think I've posted enough, on this subject, though and will cease and desist
and just stick, myself, to unschooling discussion, from now on.

Can anybody refer me to anyone who has any specific information about this
--- anything beyond someone's opinion that it could happen?

TIA

Accuracy builds credibility over time -- the above is patently inaccurate.
Talking about how schools have damaged children is often a topic on this list
and people always respond with great ideas of how to avoid creating that kind
of damage at home and how to help children heal from the damage, etc.

That is a regular topic of conversation here and nobody has said that it
should not be and many have repeatedly said that it is appropriate.

One list cannot be all things to all people. This list is clearly intended to
be support for parents who are either unschooling or interested in
unschooling their children. Anybody who sticks mostly to posting with that
purpose in mind will arouse no complaints from other listmembers, even if
they do swerve away from that primary purpose occasionally.
