Facebook changed its ways, so anyone can join. Not everyone can post.

Membership and posting,
Radical Unschooling Info on Facebook

The group is public (visible, open).

JUST READ and don't join the group if your facebook page is private or mostly secret. If you're unwilling to let people see, then you REALLY don't want any of these posts where others can see them, which might happen if you post or comment.

If a moderator looks at your page and it has one or three of these conditions, you should just bookmark this page, and come read, rather than joining.

Made-up name or business name
No evidence of children or of any home ed
Crushing negativity
Strident politics
Overwhelming religiosity
Something to sell
There are other things that can make it seem someone's not a good invitee to an international discussion of how unschooling works well. But the good news is that you can all look at these discussions without being members of the group.

Above all, JUST READ and don't post until you've been here a while and read this (maybe two or three times):

Why posts might not be approved:

Other reasons people have been rejected in the application phase, or removed later:
Blocked a moderator (if we can't all see what you're writing, it won't work)
Insulted moderators
Refusal to chill (if a moderator asks you not to post for a while, then stop or I'll stop you)

Other reasons might be added as they occur.


from a post in January 2015:
Sometimes we reject someone who might have been fine, and daily we reject several people who are clearly spammers, or childless salespeople, or political cranks who like fury more than they want joy.

The group is public

REMINDER: This is a public group. It shows on people's pages. Anyone can read this, even if they are not members.

Someone deleted her post (which deleted ALL the responses—a lot of other people's time and effort, gone). It's difficult to help people see the purpose of this group, but we do keep trying. The "about," the pinned post, the files.... but when people are here on a phone or iPad, it's not so easy to find those things. Even on a computer it's not all in one place, but there are links to this, where it IS in one place:
