Oh, how I loved that place! My husband and I have been homeschooling for two years. I think it is all still quite unnecessary and think I need to know more about unschooling. I live in MD and don't know what our state requires, like a portfolio. I would think that would take away all of the regimented routine that unschooling would provide. I'd appreciate your help!

When I'm working on them I always think they're long and boring and nobody will care, so I'm very glad you read them. :-)<br /><br />Janice, I appreciate your comment but would like to point out that when a child is sitting on a couch in his mother's home, holding a remote control, that's not violent. He's not being hurt, and he's not hurting anything or anybody. It's just patterns and puzzles. It's not violence. <br /><br /><a href="http://sandradodd.com/violence/" rel="nofollow">http://sandradodd.com/violence/</a>Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31768668.post-49598694361000425802013-03-20T11:04:22.569-06:002013-03-20T11:04:22.569-06:00just discovered you...just started homeschooling m...just discovered you...just started homeschooling my 13 yr old, after realizing he'd never be able to benefit in the left-brained public school environment. Advised by other homeschool moms to de-school for some time, which I'm happy to do. Realizing that we may just be "unschoolers" by nature. My boy is a passionate and clever computer nerd,and was amused when I read him your entry about Minecraft. I have intuitively allowed him to pursue his cyber interests without judgement. He is not attracted to violence in gaming at all, so I have just let it rip. For those of you with this type of kid, may I suggest the game Spore, also Little Big Planet. They will shortly amaze you with how quickly they become very skilled at creating their own worlds and they will make friends worldwide.

I think religions that promote racism or child abuse (spanking, shaming) are a problem for unschooling too.<br /><br />If a family believes that visualizing learning, or future jobs, or friends, or parties, will create those things, their children will be at a disadvantage compared to other unschooling families where the parents are promoting logic, everyday courtesies and explorations, and non-magical cause and effect.<br /><br />For purposes of my site and discussions, though, the immediate problem is when someone shows up with the assumption that it's necessary or useful to make unschooling work. <br /><br />Anonymous wrote:<br />"Yes, like attracts like...So what? "<br /><br />"So what" besides what I've already written?<br />So negative, antagonistic people are unlikely to attract people who prefer logic to wishful "manifestation."Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31768668.post-10565490207860378962011-08-22T19:20:34.512-06:002011-08-22T19:20:34.512-06:00Acting like the "Law of Attraction" is p...Acting like the "Law of Attraction" is part of unschooling IS a problem. It is the exact same problem as if any spiritual or religious belief was confounded with unschooling. If I went around speaking or started a list called "Unschooling" that assumed and promoted and was entirely devoted to unschooling based on my own particular religious/spiritual beliefs, and if I promoted that as if that WAS what unschooling was all about, that would be a problem. I may think other people's religious or spiritual beliefs are illogical and maybe laughable or even dangerous - and they may think that about mine, but it doesn't matter and isn't a problem unless and until someone mixes their beliefs up with unschooling and promotes them as if they are the same thing. That is a big problem. The only people I see doing that are the Law of Attraction followers. Others identify themselves clearly, such as the Christian Unschoolers or Baha'i or Muslim unschoolers, for example. If the Law of Attraction unschoolers would also do that, make it clear that they are not just talking unschooling, but talking about a reglious or spiritual belief system that they have chosen, then I would not consider it a problem for the rest of us unschoolers.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04807716767235400150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31768668.post-59779449626357661552011-08-22T15:27:19.273-06:002011-08-22T15:27:19.273-06:00Contrary to the Law of Attraction posting, there i...Contrary to the Law of Attraction posting, there is no "Problem" with the theory or law. <br /><br />It's just like humans discovering electricity or anything else that's already "out there" ... then people are able to understand it and harness the powers that be. <br /><br />Yes, like attracts like...So what?
