Welcome New Mexico Unschoolers! We are a social support group for families who are joyfully whole life learning.

The purpose of this yahoo group is as a communication network in support of our local unschooling community. As such, our policy requires that prospective members come to an event and meet us before joining the online group.

If you attempt to advertise, send spam or promote a religious agenda your posts will be removed. We expect members of our group to be respectful not only of the others on the list, but the entire world population. We expect parents to also be available and willing to help their children be respectful of the rights of others, and to encourage kindness towards others. We reserve the right to ask those who don't maintain our principles of kindness and respect to leave our group.

We like to talk about what we consider to be the best of real life. We also like to actually live the best in life when we are not sitting around talking about it. We respect children as whole human beings NOW with no need to wait until they're adults to honor their desires about the direction in which they want to steer their lives. We focus on facilitating our children's growth and helping them find information and answers that are relevant and meaningful to them while providing stimulating environments to explore and learn. We watch our children learn and grow joyfully by being part of the real world every day. It all ends up looking like a lot of people playing and enjoying life.

We create and participate in numerous activities each month in the greater Albuquerque area.

OUR MAIN GOAL is to foster local friendships with like-minded unschooling families. We could throw out a bunch of other labels like whole life learners, life long learners, natural learners, respectful parents, joy seekers,freedom and autonomy seekers, people living by principles, people living without fear, and non-control freaks...but we won't.
