Hi there! 

 Here is an interesting "dia-blog" happening that I found mentioned over at Jacobs Academy.    She stopped by to let me know about it, and it was pretttttyyyy interesting. 

 Over at the Atlanta Journal's newspaper online, they have an education blog, called "Get Schooled."  I don't know anything about it, other than that, so far.  But gee whillikers, since I put "unschoolers" down for our method of home education, and I am posting on Thursday's Front Porch as the Unschooler non-expert,  this kind of thing is right up my un-educated alley!

The  blog host posed this challenge, "Unschoolers, tell us your story!" 

 I thought I would check it out, and well, my goodness!  Can you imagine, there are a whole lot of people commenting on there, who aren't unschoolers and aren't even homeschooling?

There are some emphatic yet irrelevant comments flying back and forth.  (And irreverant, however you spell that.)

There were 72 comments when I stopped by, and I didn't have time to read all of them.  I didn't even see many "un-schoolers" even telling their stories.  I guess we are just too busy un-schooling our kids to have time to tell too many people what it is that we exactly aren't doing. 

Alas, I do hope to comment, but they closed the comment function for the evening. 

 Hopefully I can get on there tomorrow and tell our story!

Homeschooling is Life,

"Unschooling" is just misunderstood semantics (absolutely No offense to John Holt intended!)

" My worst day homeschooling is better than the best day in public school."

p.s.  More on this topic to come!  Stay un-tuned!  Same nebulous time, same un-predictable blog.
