Welcome! This list is for unschoolers, unschool-learning, or unschool curious in the state of Tennessee. We're open to all religious persuasions and those with none.
This list is about about unschooling -- no school, no tests, no assignments, no lesson plans, no curriculum, no learning objectives.
This a place to give and get support for your unschooling journey, ask for and offer help, and receive and present suggestions for snags, frustration, fears, and general problems of being an unschooling parent. It's also a venue for creating friendships and sharing your unschooling triumphs and joys.
If you consider yourself a relaxed or eclectic homeschooler, who may require, force, or even strongly encourage your children to "do schoolwork" of any kind, *and you don't wish to stop*, then you may feel this list isn't for you.
Lurking is discouraged. This list IS NOT for discussing curriculums and "school at home" methods.
