I don't think so either, it would be absolutely ridiculous to do!!! I think
there's a difference (a very very big difference that may look to some people
like no difference at all) in not coddling someone who is lost in their ways so
they hear you, and not coddling someone who is lost in their ways so they
shut down. One is hearing and growing and learning, the other certainly isn't,
neither is being coddled.

Yes, and in the above, I happen to only be talking about the ones that do!!

Maybe it would be a good idea to put a side note at the Unschooling.com site,
where it has this list suggested, that this list isn't for debating whether
unschooling is the way to go, and that those who get their feelings hurt easily
should try another list???
