NurtureShock?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Sandra Dodd Jul 11, 2010. 45 Replies 0 Likes
Someone in one of my forums recommended NurtureShock to me when I made a post about Continuum Concept. She said she'd never read Continuum Concept, but the way I had explained the book, she felt it…Continue

Ahh, how to introduce oneself. We are not an unschooling family, but I am hoping for us to become one. It's a bit complicated.I'm a soon-to-be stepmother to four children - two of those (the middle…Continue

Joyce Fetteroll replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"*** By lists, I think Joyce means all discussions. ***
I was thinking of lists like Yahoo. But old style message boards too. Forums like these have pictures so we can't be oblivious to a poster's race anymore.
Maybe I should put up a…"
Joyce Fetteroll replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"*** Also, I haven't been to any unschooling conferences and I'm only basing my observation on the pictures that are made available on the various conference websites ***

Joyce Fetteroll replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"*** Jason: I think Joyce can help me show that what I'm referring to does exist when she writes, ***
Actually what I'm saying is what you perceive as a problem is a result of where unschooling began, economics, cultural barriers and…"
JennyStar replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"So, you think the cause is economics (class) and culture. Am I correct?
How can you look for causation to something that you are assuming is a problem?
Most people, of any culture, economic situation, gender, or color want nothing at all to do…"
Sandra Dodd replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"-=-Lists cut across financial and racial lines. There are people of all economic levels offering help on the lists. -=-

Joyce Fetteroll replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"*** So, you think the cause is economics (class) and culture. Am I correct? ***
The cause? I don't think there's a single problem so there can't be a single cause. The barriers between middle class African American parents and…"
Sandra Dodd replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"-=-I can see the political relevance of unschooling, especially radical unschooling, and I think a big part of this political relevance has to do with equal opportunity for everyone at public gatherings.-=-
No, the "political relevance"…"
Sandra Dodd replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"-=-So, you think the cause is economics (class) and culture. Am I correct?-=-
It's not "a cause." You're really fishing for something, and trying to put words in Joyce's mouth, and looking for something that might not…"
Joyce Fetteroll replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"*** Joyce, can you help me understand how the cause of the overwhelming whiteness at these conferences ***
I suspect you must have read through my post defensively looking for agreement and didn't absorb any of the points I brought up.…"
Joyce Fetteroll replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"*** I was hoping this group would be more open about discussing race and white privilege within the unschooling community, especially as it pertains to public events. ***
By discussing do you mean building on your idea?
But what if the idea has an…"
Sandra Dodd replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"Jason, your feelings are hurt because people didn't like being accused of racism?"
Sandra Dodd replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"-=-From what I've read about unschooling, however, I believe it does apply to everyone, all the time. Am I right here? If most of the conference-goers and other "public" figures of unschooling are white or look white or benefit from…"
Joyce Fetteroll replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"Discussions, once released onto the board, take on a life of their own :-) Whatever part of a post that provokes their thoughts will inspire people to post.
There might be a group here in the Group area that discusses books. You could start one. If…"
Kayla Doreo replied to Kayla Doreo's discussion NurtureShock?"You know, this book does have a lot to offer other than such a focus on racial issues. I'm trying to figure out how this whole discussion happened! I have read the book, and a re-read is in order for anything comprehensive to share because it…"
Profile Information
- what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?
- It means living life freely, joyfully, and with love, by removing hindrances (school, rules, chores, etc) from the child's life and making sure the child's needs are met.
- how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?
- Unfortunately, we haven't even started. I am helping my fiance on the path of attachment parenting for his children and I'm with him on that path as a (future) step mom. However, the choices surrounding the kids' education is really between their biological parents. I hope I can influence it in some way so that the children will be encouraged to make their own choices.
- first names of children
- Oldest to youngest: Teena, 13; Reese, 9; Jared, 7; Tori, 5.
- a little about me
- I'm twenty-one years old, with hearing impairment (cochlear implant), and living at home with my fiance (Steven) who works as a machinist.

Freedom and Learning
Posted on October 16, 2009 at 7:54pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I wrote a blog on our family blogspot that specifically addresses my thoughts on association of freedom and learning. Basically, it's really a rant about homeschooling requirements that we have in TN. I've been looking into it and came across the requirements. All the requirements are put in place as attempts to keep things within the schooling/education box. I think the requirements are silly but it is the law in the area. Seriously, less govt in our children's lives, the better. We do not… Continue
