*There are a number of great unschooling
websites growing out there, this is just a starter list. Please submit
your favorites to goobmom23 AT yahoo DOT com.
Heather’s Homeschooling Page: I am particularly fond of Heather’s
articles as they were, quite literally, my very first introduction to unschooling. Don’t miss the link to her original homeschooling page. All
of her articles/essays are still there and, if I remember correctly,
every single one of them is worth reading. Don’t miss her “life
itself” essays, as well.
John Holt
and Growing Without Schooling "Growing Without
Schooling is the title of a newsletter started in 1977 by the late
John Holt. The newsletter earned a devoted following of homeschoolers
over its twenty-four year history. Growing Without Schooling ceased
publication in December, 2001."
Jon’s Homeschool Resources: Probably one of the oldest websites
dedicated to homeschooling information on the Internet. It looks like
it’s been a while since it has been updated, but I continue to find it a
good site to search and I especially enjoy the “people” links which take
you to personal sites of homeschool students, graduates, and parents.
Joyce Fetteroll’s unschooling site,
Joyfully Rejoycing: This is a marvelous collection of discussion
posts on unschooling and “parenting peacefully.” It is a wonderful site
for browsing and she has the topics gently broken down into “typical”
questions that are often asked about unschooling. Joyce’s answers are
always thorough and thoughtful.
Learning in
Freedom
from the website, "Living
life a bit outside of mainstream parameters has it's benefits! From
sleeping and waking at odd hours to creating income in unique methods,
it's always an adventure. We've never had regrets about helping our
children learn outside that bizarre institution of school and they
pursue learning with joy and peace in their hearts. Life isn't perfect,
but it's sure great!"
Radical Unschooling: No unschooling list would be complete without a
link to Sandra Dodd’s unschooling “office.” Sandra has numerous worthy
articles on unschooling that are helpful for new and experienced
unschoolers alike. Be sure and check out
Deschooling for Parents and
Seeing Unschooling.
Unschooling.info: Message boards, articles, and
resources for unschooling. Be sure to check out the article,
The Three Stages of Unschooling by Kelly Lovejoy.
