- what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?
- Being strong in our own lives and our own families to be "radical" and ignore the "common" wisdom...to believe in ourselves and our kids and follow our own paths.
- how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?
- Well...we've been doing what I call "flip-flop" homeschooling since my oldest was born in 2002. I would be an unschooler,until stress or doubt crept in, and then I would "flip-flop" and start forcing "schoolwork" again... then, realize it didn't work and try unschooling again. Last year, we went 100% unschooling.
- names and ages of children
- Leif (boy,pronounced Lay-f), 6 years old. Right now into Star Wars, Star Wars Legoon the playstation2, the environment, leapster, CHESS, and pc games. Has the greatest sense of humor!
Winter (girl) 4 years old..into fairies, princesses, and artwork. Sings lovely little songs and tells stories at the drop of a hat. Answers to the name Silvermist, Tinkerbell, and occasionally meow-meow!
- a little about me
- I'm 34. I'm an old school punk type (ramones,ramones, ramones), who also likes opera, adores musical theater and worships the vocal harmonies of ABBA. I've worked on a farm, been an esthetician, makeup artist, visual display, massage therapist, actor,and a myriad of other temporary "careers". I'm still waiting to find out what I'll be when (or if) I "grow up"- but I'm quite content being a sahm! I dream of doing the rv thing, since I'm a nomad at heart! The really hard part of unschooling in my life has been me! We attended Live and learn for the first time this year and were so shy, overwhelmed- (and sick) that we really felt like the whole trip was a disaster! I had a lot of my comfort levels pushed and challenged, however, which has made me "come around" on the video game issues I had before! So, I'm re-committing to my kids, my life, and radical unschooling. Please be gentle with me, I'm still learning!

- Hi : ] I'm still trying to figure this website out, but I'm from New Jersey as well, and desperate for like-minded momma's to befriend.

- Hey Lisa,
Glad you are feeling better. It is amazing how much that helps everything. We are just hanging out and not doing much.
Thanks for introducing the boys to Phineas and Ferb we just got he 2nd DVD and Samuel refuses to send it back to Netflix.
