SANDY WILLOUGHBY

I have just begun looking into unschooling and I am wondering by reading
these posts if it is more of a pagan style? I have seen a lot of things on
the wiccan way and pagan sites and I was just wondering.

No, I don't think so. It actually started with the hippies back in the
60's (o.k., I admit it, I'm old as dirt and know this first hand <g>) and
then went underground. I think that it nicely adapts to the Wiccan/Pagen
way of looking at the world. However, I've got tons of cyber-friends that
are Christians and various and sundry other beliefs that are unschooling.
Now, a lot of Christians are having a rougher time of it because of the way
their fellow travelers think but, I would say unschooling is pretty well
non-denominational <g>

It's not primarily a Pagan way of homeschooling.
I for example am Buddhist. I have several Unitarian aquaintances who
unschool. I know of at least a couple of fundie unschoolers and am well
aquainted with a Mormon family that unschool and one friend who is an
aspiring Jehovahs Witness who is a blazing on fire radical unschooler.

Nope! You just caught a thread.

An interesting thread too.

But a lot of us are other than pagan (how's that for vague??).

P.S. New thread?? My husband and I are talking about him working less and I
really feel it would be great (long overdue) and I also think the whole
hsing/unschooling going on at home is part of that "simplifying my life"
attitude which I seem to be creeping up on. Everybody else already BTDT??

That is hard to say, since there are as many ways and definitions of being
pagan as there are people who call themselves pagan. I would say that
pagan unschooling is definately more nature centered and involving
spirituality and other elements of internal growth as much as other areas
of study. What do other pagan families here think?

For some reason this sounds really amusing to me. Perhaps it is just your
clever turn of phrase.

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought that you were asking if there was a
certain way of Unschooling that is common among pagan families, not whether
Unschooling is a particularly pagan type of Homeschooling itself. No I
don't believe it is. I also don't think there are a lot of pagan families
on this list. There are maybe half a dozen.

I agree and I think it is wonderful. One of the things I love about it
(Unschooling) is it's capacity for bringing together families with diverse
beliefs who have Unschooling in common (which is a BIG part of their
lifestyle to have in common) so they are able to share Unschooling
experiences and share their diversity with each other at the same time.

I believe that unschooling is just a different form of homeschooling. Like
different curriculums. We are a Christian family that unschools.

and agnosticts (though veering more and more towards paganism, unschooling myself I suppose :-) )
