That's not unschooling. That's a school.
People on this list are everywhere, all over, not in Arizona.
If you're interested in reading this list to learn more, that's great. You
really should!

Dear Sandra,
Thank You.
The central question in this work, (the question that defines what we are and
what we are doing) is whether we hold an agenda for the child. A Full Table
does not.

child friendly to me at all.
No swings, no toys, I didn't see anything to interest a four year old (which
is an age you said you serve).
But then again I doubt anyone is sending a four year old off to an "oasis"
like this either.

Boarding schools for 4 year olds are not unheard of. Particularly from an international perspective. It may not be unschooling but I am glad to hear of interest in establishing an alternative to heavily structured residential schools for those families who have a need for a place for their children or grandchildren or wards.

picture of a building, then went to the site map for the whole site and
found this:
http://www.dana.org/kids/ which is just a page of links to for kids to
science pages. I wonder if this was what was meant to be sent.

go to www.afulltable.com and click on "slide show" for pictures which some may have found not a child friendly environment.
There is also a link on the left side of the homepage for "founders" and also for "staff".
I get the feeling this is a new endeavor with perhaps not many students as yet?
Like I said, NOT unschooling, but definitely "out of the box" for those families who seek an alternative school and have the financial resources to choose whatever they wish :-)

And if one of my kids for some reason really couldn't stand being here
because of a sibling and I had the money to send him or her off to give that
one and the other sibling some space, a swimming pool in Arizona would be
Holly's choice, probably.
I wonder, if there were lots more Summerhill kinds of schools, what would
become of unschooling. DJ Brewer (probably not on this list) has taken in
lots of kids at her house, starting with one extra to her four, and then
another extra, and eventually they bought a bigger house, and... one thing
led to another and now he has a school. It's a LOT like unschooling, but
there are realities of having other people's kids in that make it not at all
unschooling.
It's an interesting ebb and flow, thinking about what would be better in
larger groups, and then what the larger group will affect, etc.

Dear Sandra,
Thank you. You wrote:
children as people', that is, that we don't have to do something else and
'respect children as people' . Another way to say this is to ask you, if your
use of the term 'unschooling' means anything more, better or different than '
respecting children as people'. That is, would you agree with my view, that
the whole of the work, is simply to respect children as people?
