I know Idzie mentions this often too. While unschooling is indeed "based in the family", there is also a great deal of contact between the family and others who are unschooling, or practicing school-at-home, or are simply members of wider community (and remember, with access to the Internet, we are able to access members of many different communities!). By means of open conversations and treating children as *people* who are part of our communities, my own experience has been that it is often those children themselves who then introduce a different way of thinking to others they encounter with varying ideologies.

As you mentioned, I am also starting to understand their is a great microcosm of parenting values within the unschooling community alone. How would you be able to seperate the sometimes deeply-rooted and valued misinformation/discrimination in some families when unschooling is so based in the family? Also, how would this be done in a minimally-invasive way without upsetting unschooling families about their decrease in autonomy? Just some food for thought!Dan Moellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727478829502106355noreply@blogger.com
