PranaMama Uproot that weed or else

Sometimes I look around my homeschool circle and all I see are women, mostly older than I or with children younger than I, who seem to have it put together concerning their lifestyle and livelihood. This is quite jaunting for me since we struggle day in and day out to provide the basics for our large family and often question myself concerning our lifestyle. I feel at times that I am living a luxury I just can't afford. Allow me to back up.... It was a day not too long ago in which I found mysel… Continue

laura b calvin & hobbes and unschooling

for anyone who has ever asked these questions: what IS unschooling, really? but if you don't MAKE them learn, how will they? do you unschool in the summer?? or said things like: kids can't learn without structure or curriculum. if you don't make them read every day, they won't learn to read by the right age!! i don't see how following their interests can lead to learning all the right subjects!! to which i give you...calvin & hobbes...… Continue

bLISs finding our place in this RUing world...

i typed outa whole big blog yesterday only to lose it thanks to my internet connection going off and on. grrr. i really need to sort out my thoughts on some things...one being that there really is no different in the 'acting out' of kids...it is what it is and whether a kid has more of a martyr/'i'm a victim' style or more of a leader/assertive/aggressive style, its all the same when they mistreat one another & lack empathy... i will blog more about that when i have time. i have a LOT to sa… Continue

bLISs not only TRUSTING my children...but now TRUSTING my SELF as their mother.

ok. still pondering this. mulling it over. not heeing and hawing so much...processing...how to merge my daughter from the waldorf school’s kindergarten she will be graduating from as of 6/10 this year into a radical unschooling life for her? i have a 6.5yo daughter and a 17 mo son. my daughter presently says she does NOT wish to be unschooled. i don’t think she is capable of choosing this for herself at age 6. and i don’t like the restrictions placed on her at the school. i told her jokingly yet… Continue

BUT, it's also amazing how much of an impression our general attitude and demeanor have on… Continue

Vicki Perpetual Motion and Entropy

As many of you who read here know, both my spouse and I are full-time working parents whom have chosen to unschool our youngest child. In stepping off the mainstream path most people follow, we have had to learn some new concepts and ideals about just what constitutes a real education and just what constitutes real value in ones life. These conversations have lead to much reflection on both of our childhoods, time spent with friends, time spent with parents, and just how did these life events ef… Continue

Vicki Where Does One Start?

Hi friends, I've been getting private emails asking me about unschooling along with being in a few unschooling groups where these same questions come up so I thought I'd share a recent post with you all. Whether you homeschool or unschool, I believe the most important point is to 'see what your kids are gaining from the experience and not on what you think they are missing.' So many parents are finding their children ever so sad in the 'school system'. I would like to encourage those parents th… Continue

Joanne Unschooling Encouragement

**originally posted at my blog** A while back, a member posted to one of the unschooling e-mail lists with some questions for unschooling parents, and she was looking for encouragement. Her questions are followed by my answers. I have several questions that I hope someone (many people - I would love to hear lots of opinions) would be willing to answer for me. 1- How old were your children when you took them out of school? I have three kids that I removed in 2004. They were in t… Continue

Joanne I moved my blog...FINALLY!!!

I finally got off my butt and moved my blog to it's own server. It was kind of sad to let go of blogger but I had moved my adoption blog and it was time for the unschooling one to move also. I've been out of touch for a while so I need some help in getting the new address out and I decided to have a contest for those who help me out. You can read about it here: Win A $20 Amazon.com Gift Certificate. Thank you!!!! Continue

Kristen Wheatley Standing In Line is not a Life Skill

I am slowly growing accustomed to my immediate family's rantings on the dangers of(cue the "doom and gloom" music) unschooling. I was honestly shocked by the criticism thrust upon me as this fall began and my family realized that I really meant what I have been talking about for the past five years. My husband and I have always planned on homeschooling, and more specifically - unschooling (although we didn't realize there was an actual term for it at the time.) Something we have done naturally s… Continue
