Teresa Graham Brett replied to Rachel C's discussion Hitting the road
"We live in Arizona and you must file an affidavit of intent to homeschool with county school superintendent. No tests or checking in required. If you quit homeschooling then you also need to notify the superintendent."

"Would it possible to describe more specifically what happened when you were out exploring the borders of your property? That might help me understand better the dynamics."

Teresa Graham Brett replied to Melissa Mead's discussion Cooperation
"I agree with Sandra. Often when I am not really engaged with the kids and and I am trying to do other things that are not about them, then we go in a downward spiral. When I feel like I can't shift my own energy effectively, then I try and get…"

Profile Information

what does "radical unschooling" mean to you?
Radical unschooling for me begins with honest self-examination of our internalized beliefs and beginning the process of unlearning adultism, we can create deeper, more respectful, authentic, and joyful relationships with the children who share our lives.
I seek to create a world in which children's voices and lived experiences have value and meaning in what has been adult-dominated world. Rather than seeing childhood as the training ground for a productive adult life, childhood and children can be valued in the here and now.
how long have you been unschooling or homeschooling?
3 years
first names of children
Martel, 8
Greyson, 3
a little about me
I am passionate about my journey as a parent in creating change for children. I love to write, be with Martel and Greyson as well as my partner, Rob. I also love to travel, read, play music, and challenge the status quo!
