Sandra Dodd: Talks in Edinburgh on Saturday 21st May 2011
NOTE: I learned later that the purveyors of the "Autonomous Ed" press/magazine in the UK were claiming that it was just another name for unschooling, but they knew it was not. So I'm sorry I added to years of confusion and disconnect. I didn't know better at first.
Unschooling is separate, and better. I'm sorry people in the UK were prevented, for many years, from participating more freely and openly in unschooling discussons, because of the repeated (and false) claim that it was the same.
Edinburgh Home Education Network sponsored my talks. They took their old website down in early January 2023. If you're in that area and you want to connect with other home ed families, join here: ebhe-main.ning.com
