It sounds to me like unschooling teaches kids to think, while school teaches
them to conform and obey.

I find it interesting that *special*, *different* people have movies made
about them, ie, Dr. Patch Adams, but when kids try to emulate him, they are
shot down.

Or is it just me? : )

PS: I don't understand what some of the abbreviations you use mean. What is
dh? I think it has to do with husbands, but I can't figure out the d!

the d, which I also had a hard time figuring out, can be darling,
dedicated, darn, which ever adjective you have in mind! <g>

Its not just you, its the truth. I think its the whole respect thing.
That children get so little of it in most circles.

Its like the saying, "do as I say not as I do" so hypocritical. I had a
teacher who would say that, in certain ways it was funny because he was
admitting that he couldn't live up to his standards. Yet on the other hand,
I think of it now and its sad because so many people do believe this way.
And they don't believe there is any other way!

Well, us unschoolers will show them, huh!
