Equívocos sobre o Unschooling (a translation of Misconceptions about Unschooling)

And that seemed to require a link to the translator, so...

These links have all been announced here over at various times over the past year and a half, but the reality TV page has new writings. These three had not been previously all cross-linked or grouped. They all have to do with disorted reality, ideals, and wishes. The ideas here aren't so simple, but awareness of their existence is good! 
Would you rather live in a stone-age village? Early 19th century sod house?

This page was new in July 2013, and has new information, in the righthand column

I had a page called deschooling, but it had become crowded, and when someone wrote something great, I had no great place to put it.
Now, there are several pages in a deschooling section. The new writing, by Rachel Marie, several quotes, and lots of links, are here:
From that, one can arrive at the original page, stripped down quite a bit:

Also, to a newly created page with previously published writing by Robyn Coburn and Joyce Fetteroll:

And from the old page, now not the main page, is one more:

"Cheery Neglect"—Karen Lee asked about that phrase, which she remembered from a quote but couldn't find. Others quickly helped locate it. It seemed good enough to put on its own page.

Some people want to live with and around unschoolers, rather than in the real world around them.

And on another change page, additions from the writings of Tam Palmer and Colleen Prieto

Why TWO pages called "change"? Well... sometimes I forget I have a page. So I make another one. And then I can't decide which should be "the real one." They're both good. Each links to the other. A mis-matched set!A few updates to the Help page:

Karen James, 1/3 of the way down, "If I wasn't paying attention, and if I was afraid of the time Ethan spends at the computer, I would miss all of the creativity and learning happening. Worse still, Ethan might too, because my worry would become his burden."

Usually I only put something in one place on my site, but Colleen Prieto's son, Robbie, did a cool thing, and her husband, Robert, said a great thing about it, and Colleen wrote it up sweetly. It's about his allowance.
