Re: New Member Intro

<< However, when someone came back with the "full new
member treatment", which wasn't very positive - full of "you need to do
it this way" types of advice, well... It seemed like someone was trying
to fit me into a mold that's just not my size. I didn't ask for advice,
but got it in spades.
*This list just tells it the way it is. Sometimes that's the way we need to
be spoken to so that we can OPEN OUR EYES! I came to this list to with an
attitude just like yours but now I thank this list for all the help they have
given me. The molding doesn't hurt, I promise.
<<I stated the truth in the beginning - we will be doing a cross between
homeschooling and unschooling. I don't believe in the complete
structure that seems to go hand in hand with homeschooling, but complete
unschooling would not fit my family's situation either. We'll be in a
gray area. If that offends anyone, you are entitled to your feeling and
opinions just the same as anyone is.
*You are not unschooling if you are still homeschooling. This list is for
unschooling so you can't get mad if people disagree with what you want to do.
Check out other lists that cater more to your style or read, read and read
from this list and you will learn.
<<It seems like most on the list that have spoken up so far disagree with
almost everything I've tried to say. Fine, disagree all you want to.
I'm not looking for approval or disapproval, but do whatever makes you
feel better - neither will help me or my child so I'm not giving it any
attention.
*I don't think anyone's advice to you is making them feel better!
<<I don't plan on leaving the list, but I definitely won't be very vocal -
why encourage the criticism?
*Why belong to a list that you don't like and will not be vocal in?
<<None of this is being posted to encourage a reply. Personally I'd
rather see this topic die out. What I thought was a simple introduction
has gone awry. If anyone feels moved to respond all I can ask for is to
please do it privately - there have *got* to be better things to talk
about...
*Yes, there are better things to talk about....What you came here for....
