Morag Donnachie replied to Cheroona Vicky Sievey's discussion The LEA in our life in the group SUPPORT FOR UNSCHOOLING PARENTS
"Hi, I'm coming to this quite late so you've probably already dealt with them but I wanted to reassure that you will more than likely be ok.  We've been Home Edding for for 6 years (unschooling for 3ish) and our LEA contacted us 2…"

SUPPORT FOR UNSCHOOLING PARENTS

This group is for when you need some loving support, a virtual hug,or just a good old vent. For times when you just need to hear that it's all going to be ok and that you are not bananas!

Profile Information

what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?
Knowing that my boys are complete in and of themselves, while they need my help support and guidance they do not need me to impose decisions upon them nor to decide what they should be interested in, when, and how they should be interested, it means providing opportunities but not expecting them to be taken up, it means if they show an interest then supporting that for as long as they want and in as much depth as they want.
how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?
We have been home educating since 2005.
first names of children
Rhuraidh 13, Struan 6, Kaelan 4 and Freya Katherine 1 1/2
a little about me
Gods I hate these kind of questions I never know how to answer them, I knit, I spin, I crochet, I make my own soap, grow my own, make my own cleaning products, I try to live my life in tune with nature, but those are things I do not who I am. On reflection I don't think I really understand this question so I hope what I've put will suffice.

Hello Morag
we lived off grid for 9 years:for me and Mick and it was fine, we also had a wood burning old fashioned raeburn cooker that did our hot water and central heating, we had a (very un-environmentally unfriendly diesel generator) so mick built us a water wheel that produced between 1.5 and 3 kw of power for us, however this was not consistant or indeed enough for our needs and we also had kei to think about so we decided to get mains electricity at a coat of 12.5 thousand pounds! anyway Mick has now done a feasibility study on the site and he is going to put in a much bigger system and we are going to sell back to the grid. but the answer to your question is living off grid is OK if you can cope with the alternatives and the inconsistency of the flow of power.

Hi Morag,

We live in Shropshire and have been unschooling our boys for 12 years now. I run a yahoo group Unschooling Uk which I started to find other like minded people to join with. the group was originally called Respectful Parenting UK but dies a very early death hence the name change

Morag,Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you.

Having just joined HEUK I have realised it could be Linda who is in the uk unschoolers group here that posted the comment on HEUK that maybe linked you to here?

Who ever and how ever glad you made it!!

I find it quite exciting to see the new UK unschoolers popping up.I am sure there must be many more out there.
