Thank you Sandra, for all the work you’ve done over the years—mountains of it—for the rest of it. Even though our family didn’t end up unschooling, I read deeply in my son’s early years everything you and the voices around you shared. I ended up choosing keeping the family together, based on some of your advice and some deep soul searching, rather than insisting on unschooling, but I still keep up with your work a decade later. The principles underlying radical unschooling have blessed our family and grown me over the years. And I keep learning. Anyway, I wanted to thank you from my heart for the love, abundance, and joy you share and grow through your writings/conversations/collections/ work.? --

This page was new a few months ago, so still new. :-)

I brought it here because? Anna wrote "I ended up choosing keeping the family together, based on some of your advice and some deep soul searching, rather than insisting on unschooling, but I still keep up with your work a decade later.?"

I DO think it's more important to keep a family intact than to unschool.

I know for sure that a divorce can bring about the end of unschooling anyway (maybe not immediately, but unschooling is unlikely to thrive even if it survives).

?

People have said "SO, are you saying a single mom can't unschool?"? Or a widowed mom.??

Nope.? I'm saying exactly what I'm saying, and what I've been saying.

Between the time I copied that link to bring it here and the time I pasted it here, I had a message from someone with trouble tweens who made a light comment suggesting she might be considering divorce.? So first, I dropped the link that's here.? ?

I know the "politically correct" thing to do is to pretend there's no difference and divorce is a routine thing that no one should feel responsible for, but? don't believe that.? I have seen kids hurt, was hurt myself (and it was my late teens), and have corresponded with people who were crushed because they had cavalierly let a marriage slide off a cliff and can't bring it back up.

Another one that's not brought out so much:?

That one has been added to, so just because you read it years ago doesn't mean there's nothing new to read. :-)? ?

Angela Booth responded by e-mail with something that I will save on my site, too:

Nothing more important than connecting with your own sweetness. It radiates and we just can’t underestimate its impact on those around us.

I can trace much impact on my own self as a result of a few very sweet people I knew in my early childhood, and a few in my teens. All along actually.
