Vicki "Jakesmome" Watkins said… - It is weird discovering people you don't know are reading. I just assume everyone is someone I know in IRL or from unschooling lists. What I learned is that the majority are wanna be fulltime travelers....not unschoolers, at all. me..shocked!
Thanks for reading! Have a good one!
