I want to second what Kathryn said here. You ARE very open minded to take all
of our advice and think it through instead of taking it personally.
Sometimes when your ideas and beliefs are torn apart it feels like it's about you, but
it really isn't.
I think it's awesome how you sift through all of it!

Ditto here. THIS is the stuff that newbies should be reading for a
few weeks before jumping in defensively.

Newbies would probably just think we weren't talking about learning, though,
that we were talking about food.

It takes a while for people to deschool enough to see that learning about
tasting foods and saying thank you is just like learning about multiplication or
the kings of England.

That's a pretty advanced unschooling concept.
