Teri,
How about, they can never learn beyond what I can "teach" them or they have
to have textbooks to learn from.

Teri, I have been told that I "can teach" my own kids bc I was a teacher by
profession, but that someone w/o that background would have more trouble...
Also, I was told my a homeschooling couple that I could "get by for now" w/o
buying a curriculum pkg since my kids were so young, but as they got older I
would need to buy one.

Ann,
I couldn't help but chuckle when I read your response because I do wear sandals, I am a vegetarian, and although I don't consider myself a hippie, a lot of other people might:)

Hahahaha!!  I went to a LLL District Conference recently, where I 'networked,' as one does, as is a functon of such events.  The following weekend we happened to be in the neighbourhood (within 5 miles) of someone I'd got chatting with, so we dropped in for a visit.  Her 18yo daughter arrived from minding their shop and discovered it was brown rice for tea.  'La Leche League Food!' she exclaimed.  We then made a big list of the League stereotypes, can't remember them now cos I'm tired, but it's so familiar, anyone seen to be on the fringe gets tarred with the same brush.  And actually, I wear sandals, in Summer, but I love steak and chips.  I love reading, but we have a big tv with dolby sound system, specialist hi-fi with vinyl collection intact and two computers, one with Internet connection.  Oh, the conflicts!  This family can't possibly be doing something as radical as unschooling!!
 
Diatribe over :-)

Hee...  Heee....  Amy,
I wear sandals too.  I am mostly vegetarian, but I'm too young to be a hippie!  (33)
:)  But, I wouldn't mind being called one.
