As an unschooling parent it’s easy to feel like you are all on your own. Even though there is a large homeschooling community in NYC, the unschoolers among us are scattered, and I don’t see any of them on a regular basis. Our email lists have been full of posts on AP testing and college admittance procedures for homeschoolers, neither of which is relevant to us at this point (and may never be, as my kids are not thinking college but business). So on days when it seems all around me the talk is of sending kids to high school, college prep and curriculum studies, life in the unschool lane can get a bit lonely.
Twitter, believe it or not, has been a huge source of expanding our unschooling contacts and community and I’m very thankful for that. Folks like Christina Pilkington, Idzie Desmarais, Maria at Barrels of Oranges, Katie Pybus and Naomi Kendall, just to name a few, have lifted my spirits on days when I really needed it.
Today I read an article by Wendy Priesnitz of Life Learning Magazine that re-affirmed my belief that we are on the right path for our kids and their future. Articles like that are pure gold.

In that regard, unschoolers make up one of the most generous communities on the planet; generous with their thoughts, their support and their actions.
For that I am truly thankful.
This brought tears to my eyes, not just because I’m mentioned, but because finding that community when you are so anti-establishment can be difficult, and the conventional oppression can leave one floundering for some sort of connection. Thank you.
Thank you Maria! I completely agree, and am so grateful for my online community…
