What struck me in this post by the parent was the use of the word 'irresponsible'. This is something that is internalised by parents.. My children are now 17 and 21. All those years of unschooling

Take the word apart.? Spread the word out on the floor.? :-) Irresponsibility. Responsibility Respond Who are you answerable to?? Who is this person to whom you're feeling a responsibility??

Sandra, I think that you do a beautiful job of writing about things philosophically and I am so grateful for it. Thank you for doing what you do so eloquently and in such a thought provoking way - I

I see now. I feel like this response offered the clarity I was lacking as I felt I had responded with exactly what you had originally asked for and then you had picked it apart. This, your true desire

Look for mathematics without numbers. Look for writing without pen and paper. Whatever looks schoolish to you (whether you're thinking it's right, or wrong that doesn't matter) turn away from it for

This is about ANY hurdles, and about things seeming obvious. It's about why people are defensive, partly, too. I have lifted it from a facebook discussion (Radical Unschooling Info) and it's 11

Maybe, but mostly I was hoping the question could be discussed here as a philosophical question, in ways that could help the mom see past that blind spot or blockage she's having. Explaining how your

I realized I did want to clarify one last bit - I didn’t recommend anything from your extensive website only because I assumed the original poster would have already read everything pertaining to

A big part of deschooling, and a big benefit of unschooling is the healing of childhood memories and effects that the parents can experience.? If parents want to hang on to their childhoods and work

So... That's a bad example, someone who held on to math and regretted it. It's like saying "If you follow this fork in the path, you'll come to brambles and a cliff."? So the better advice is NOT
