We have been radical unschooling now for close to nine months. I have better days and worse. I read, I make some mistakes. I read more. I listen more. I talk less. I have worked hard at calming the…Continue

Moving to Salt Lake City

We are currently in Kansas City, where there is a very active unschooling community.  My husband was just transferred to Salt Lake City.  In fact, he is there already, and we will be there in the next few weeks once we find a house to rent.  I was just wondering if there were any other radical unschoolers on here in the area we could meet up with?  Thanks, JerrittSee More

Even Better Every Day

We have been radical unschooling now for close to nine months. I have better days and worse. I read, I make some mistakes. I read more. I listen more. I talk less. I have worked hard at calming the voices of doubt that sometimes come to mind. We went to UWWG. We talk to other unschoolers. We all talk about it as a family. And finally, it is clicking. It is good. Very very good. The changes in our family have been many incremental shifts, but so amazing. I truly know that this is how we were…See More

"I agree with Joyce, that change of perspective is the hardest part. We are still working through it. It's hard because it is COMPLETELY different than anything you've probably ever considered, but once you get it, it's like a pop and…"

"Depending on her interests, a lot of the online role playing games can be a good way to socialize, too - Runescape was Ray's favorite when he was younger, and there are lots of unschoolers playing WoW - whole guilds even."

"Oh, this makes me so happy, Darcel. I am so glad to hear it. I also think it helps our family that they can hear about what the kids are "learning." I translate, and it makes them feel good and me, too, because I realize that we DO really…"
