Profile Information

what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?: Freedom of education and individualized personal pursuit of knowledge and self identity not compromised, or impeded by institutionalized education practices or mainstream media.

how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?: 15yrs

first names of children: Hillarie 27, Campbell 20, Graham 18, Duncan 16

a little about me: I am a Behavior Therapist and Developmental Specialist. I have been a Parent Educator, and Autism Early Intervention Specialist. I currently work in an amazing little eclectic school for Autism in VT. I am a single mom of four amazing individuals who educate me daily on how to be a better parent, and a more invested and engaged human being. I am a former Waldorf Nursery Kindergarten Teachers Assistant, and Waldorf Parent for two decades, all four of my children attended Waldorf School K-8. All four of my children have mild to significant learning disabilities. My three oldest children unschooled for high school, and my poor dear 16 yr old is the only one of my kids to try to navigate public high school and he hates it. I am currently helping my 18 yr old who has significant learning/emotional challenges find his path and get his GED. I hope to be able to allow my youngest to leave the confines of the public high school next year.

http://joyfullyrejoycing.com/

and an ongoing thread here entitled "What is Radical Unschooling?"

It's also a Really Good Idea, if you're interested in the discussion forum, to read for awhile first and get a "feel" for the format, there. It's different than anywhere except other radical unschooling discussions, and I don't like to see people get their feelings hurt. Forum guidelines are Here.

If you're looking to connect with others with similar interests (besides unschooling - we're a very diverse bunch!) check out the Groupssection. You'll find a gentle supportgroup, a group for Chrisitanunschoolers,African Americanunschoolers, a group discussing issues of social justice, local groups, groups for people who like gardening and more!

Also please check out the calender of events down on the main page - see if there's an unschooling conference or gathering near you, or if you know of one that isn't listed, add it! There's nothing like meeting in person.
