At AlwaysUnschooled, members create a space in which Radical Unschooling can be seriously discussed as a lifestyle that begins at birth. AU is geared towards thoughtful discussion and exploration of what Radical Unschooling looks like from birth and beyond for our "always unschooled" children.

Secular in nature, we welcome unschoolers from all walks of life. Our discussions focus on exploring topics like organic learning, respectful parenting, consensual-living, freedom and autonomy, living by principles, convincing family, surviving panic and criticism, living without fear, resisting enrollment, non-coercive parenting, deschooling ourselves, joyful living and releasing control.

This is an on-topic discussion list dedicated to achieving a deeper understanding of Radical Unschooling as a lifestyle--topics that fall outside this description belong, please, on more appropriate lists. As a discussion list, AU regularly challenges ideas and accepted memes.

Experienced and new unschoolers can discuss how they made the transition from peaceful parenting to unschooling in daily practice, when that transition occurred and what benefits children gain by unschooling from the beginning.

Please take a week or so to read the list and refer to the list guidelines under "Files" before posting. Member recommended Books can be found under "Database," and there's lots of interesting reading under "Links."

Thanks to Heather Cushman-Dowdee for "Kindergarten Log!"--illustrating Unschooling in action!
