Yes, unschooling is good and honorable, no denying that, we all agree to
that. But there is also things in this world that are happening to children
that are far worse than sitting in a classroom.

Unschooling is a part of each of our lives here on this list, we all also
have a responsibility to the world other than just where our doorstep ends.

I may only be speaking for myself, but I think this list would be more
enjoyable and educational if everyone would act like adults and refrain
from expressing their opinions in a hostile, judgmental nature.

Stop speaking for other people.
You don't even know what I was writing.

HELPING others unschool is not "just unschooling."

You really and honestly don't read very well at all, do you? Just scanning
for your own name, maybe?

<<glena who does not resort to name calling to make her point>>

You make a point and then deny it, you tell a story and then change it, you
make the same unclear and lame points over and over and over and over and
over and over.

I don't deny anything, I point out parts that someone might have "missed" or
simply overlooked and it made them think something else entirely than I
meant.

You can let a post pass without comment if you feel it is dragging on and on
or over and over.

You don't have to be rude and resort to name calling.

Let me rephrase the line that bothered you so much... I, personally,l think
that unschooling is honorable and good.

I will also add that it is good and honorable that you help so many people
find unschooling and you write and speak and are an advocate for something so
wonderful for children. That is never been in question.

I also think it is good and honorable that we recognize there are things we
can/should do to help make this world better, not just for our families. The
things we can do are small for sure but don't we all owe something?

You give back in ways that you feel you can. Others find other causes to
help remedy in some small way, things they feel passionately about, some
change things in big ways and some even affect others for the better or worse
without even trying.

I just feel that you can live in the present and still care about injustices
(that do happen every single minute of every single day) and those who can't
help themselves or speak for themselves to have a better existence in either
small ways or big ways.

Glena I have to say you might not resort to name calling but you get your passive digs in from what I can see. Maybe a little directness would address this better.I tell my kids to use their words to tell the person what they are feeling or how they were affected or what they want from that person. You didn't namecall but you are no cleaner in this battle between you and sandra
