lovemykids Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Does this exist? I love many different homeschool styles and philosophies (as I am sure that many of you do). I would love to occasionally pop in on a forum of like-minded individuals to get more ideas and share my experiences. Not that I will ever completely stop coming here, of course. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemykids Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 So, is the reason I didn’t get any replies because the two words Christian and unschool don’t seem to go together? Or does a forum like this just not exist? It doesn’t have to be Christian but I don’t want radical unschoolers either. I am not actually an unschooler. I just like to relax around the edges. And in many cases we have to because of lack of time... Well, if not I guess this WTM forum comes pretty close with all of the eclectic homeschoolers here. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyfulhomeschooler Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 If you start one, they will come. :-p:iagree: I know I would enjoy one. I also am not an unschooler, but it is nice to have the relax a little attitude... although I often get that here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calandalsmom Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I don't know. Seems like gentle Christian mothers might be good for that. Very grace focused community. If it's still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquinas Academy Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Here is a Christian unschooling Yahoo group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana B Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The forum for Homeschool Share is pretty relaxed. Although it states it's main purpose is for the discussion of literature-based unit studies - it is very open and relaxed. Many of the members are delight/child - directed and there is a lot of CM inspired stuff too. All the active members are Christian and we are very loving and open. It's my home away from home. I participate here, but I'm very active there. Absolutely love it. http://forum.homeschoolshare.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloe Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I think the Robinson Curriculum Yahoo group comes close to what you are looking for. Many on the group don't own or use the RC cds, just implement the method, tweaking for their family. It might be worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewpeaceful Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 www.thehomeschoollibrary.com have many who fit that bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemykids Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to respond! Many of these sound wonderful. I am going to look into each and every one. Some of them I have heard of but I didn’t think they would really apply. But now that I think about it, places like Homeschool Share, or the Robinson curriculum group, might be similar our homeschool. I would love to start a group one day but right now, in this “season†of my life, it just not feasible. If I started one now, I would feel like I had to contribute much needed time. Days go by too fast as it is! Maybe after I get my youngest one reading on his own proficiently, I will feel like I have more time to devote to a group. Or blogging, writing books, and many other things I need time for. This won’t be long now; my youngest is starting pre-school this year. I can’t believe it. In a few years he will be an avid reader like the rest of my children; I’m sure, which will leave me with much more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are out there; it’s just that they may be a bit more difficult to find. I hope one day soon these groups will gather together and provide more support for moms like us!
