If you are an unschooler and are of Indian origin and live either in India or elsewhere in the world then please join us :-)

what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?: i've written and re-written this paragraphy a few times now... and am unable to express myself. Its overwhelming. RU has changed my way of being with myself, my children and the world around me. Living life in a state of peace, learning and working and playing .... all blurred together.

how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?: My children are almost 7 and almost 4. Except for a brief 3 month pre-school spell with my oldest they have both never been to school. We started to radically unschool about a year ago.

a little about me: I am an artist and art facilitator. I love learning alongside my children and am grateful for having found this exhilarating, freeing, wide open way of living.

I am Gayathri, I live in Columbia, SC. I am just about to start the unschooling journey. I have a boy (5) and a girl (2). I am thrilled to find that there unschooled Indians out there. I would love to be part of this network and get to know unschoolers. Please let me know if you know of any Indians who live in my side of the town that are unschoolers.

Thanks and look forward to knowing you guys!

hope that helps! good luck with your site!!!

I went through your blog a few weeks ago and tried to get in touch with you then but encountered some problem. I am glad to be able to connect with you on this forum. I am living in Auroville (Pondicherry) with Aiyana who is 3 years old and her father, Manu. We are Indian - I am from Himachal/Punjab but grew up in different places in India, and Manu is from Kerala. We are new to unschooling and I am greatly interested in making it work. Of course, most of the work is to unschool our (Manu and me) selves. I have enjoyed reading your blog posts and appreciate the way you relate your day to day experiences.

Cheers,
Garima

On the righthand column (on mine anyway), down to the right, are recent blog posts (maybe only of your friends; I'm not sure). Up at the top right is a "forum" link. That's where I usually go.

At the bottom of each forum topic, bottom right, is an option to subscribe (so you get e-mail notifications). Those are good, because when a topic is busy or older, the new comments don't always go at the bottom. They go under what they're responding to. I really like it, but it's a little tricky at first.
