I would like the intro letter but don't know how to go about requesting it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It should be nearly the same as the description on the webpage at yahoo
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Unschooling-dotcom/).

I can't figure out how to ask Yahoo to send out an intro letter. It just
does it automatically when someone joins. But here's the text:

Unschooling is the confidence to trust that young people will learn what
they need from living their lives in freedom and joy. An unschooling parent
is a facilitator and cheerleader who embraces life and learning with
curiosity and enthusiasm. An unschooled child is free to choose the what,
when, where and how of their learning -- from mud puddles to Shakespeare to
Spongebob Squarepants! If this sounds like it's for you or you'd like to
find out more about how video games and life in general are filled with
learning, come join us!

As discussed on this list and at the Unschooling.com website, unschooling is
*not* defined as the free learning kids do outside of parent-directed
learning, nor is it done on a part-time basis. Everyone with an interest in
unschooling is welcome to join this discussion, but we ask that you keep in
mind the purpose of this list, which is to discuss unschooling in ways
designed to help each other become unschoolers or become better at
unschooling. We advise reading for a week or two before posting to get a
"feel" for the list and its members, since many listmembers love a lively
debate and questioning beliefs to their foundations. If you have questions
about this list please feel free to contact list moderator Joyce Fetteroll
