I've been discussing unschooling online for 30 years now. I have some printouts dated 1982, from a user group on "HOME SCHOOLING" that had about 80 participants, mor than half of whom were home schooling because their churches had told them it was the only way to be.? ? Many participants were men, too, because it wasn't easy to have e-mail yet outside of work.? My e-mail address was through a company called *Prodigy (with an asterisk in it :-).
Before long AOL opened, and that was like a huge air-conditioned mall, compared to the BBS/user groups.? That's when I buddied up with Pam Sorooshian, and Joyce Fetteroll, and others who could think clearly and write well and some of whom are still around..? There were other forums, and this group was created in November 2001, so nearly 21 years ago.? The first post was by Deb Lewis:

It's still. great read, and the responses, too.??
Please never feel bad about reading something again.? For one thing, that's they way people can really know something, through repetition.? For another thing.? You read it from a different perspective, after you have more experience with unschooling or parenting (or spirituality or whatever the topic is), and it WILL be different.
This page, on my site, is about repetition (in good ways) and has a video of me (very short, with Holly filming and responding):
Today's Just Add Light and Stir (which has a **NEW** self-service subscription box) has a link to all the rearview mirror photos that are up there, and if any of you want to tke a good one and send it, I wouldn't mind considering others. There are two of bridges, in mirrors, and those are STUNNING.
