take the power away from them is fine. The list owners have the
right to make their list whatever they want and after this, I'll let
it go. But if they are unwilling to discuss it, this list isn't
really for all those considering unschooling, it's for those who have
already come to terms with the terribleness of school and the
rightness of unschooling and are ready to discuss day to day.

Discussing the problems with doing school-type stuff at home is definitely
going to have to happen here, as you said, for the list to be useful to
people just considering breaking away from school. But that isn't the same as
discussing school-related politics and economics. That is about how kids
learn (or don't).

That one's good, but there's a British version that came out around the same
time that's even better. Wilder.

Hey, Paula --
I think my son is too young, and my budget too lean for live theater.
But I've been wanting to get more plays on video. My son has watched
some Shakespeare and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead with avid
interest. I'm thinking he can handle some pretty complicated ideas if
he gets to take them in on the comfort of his couch. Do you want to
recommend anything? (The rest of you are welcome to chime in.)
I think I'm getting my husband Steambath on video for Christmas.
Irreverance really appeals to him. (Definitely explains why he married me.)
