[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 649030, member: 1550"] Farmington, I'm so happy for you! My life has gotten good too. I stay here to try to share and help what worked for us and, if I slide a bit, the smart gals here are always here to remind me of what needs reminding. It is always sooooooooooo wonderful to hear good stories. And to get ideas. Maybe some here should think of changing their lifestyles too. I do believe, from the bottom of my heart, that school can ruin some children. It ruined me and I spent decades recovering from the horror of school, the self-esteem collision brought on by school, the reminder that I couldn't make it in a regular school. Yet I would have thrived under the type of environment you brought to your kids. Maybe rather than blaming our kids if they can't do school, we should blame the school system for being so dogmatic and inflexible. It is unfriendly to differently wired kids, creative kids (I was in this category), Learning Disability (LD) kids (I was here too), kids who have trouble sitting down for six hours and not getting up...and for kids who are different from their peers and get bullied, which can damage a child for a lifetime. I love the concept of unschooling for different wired kids. I think it is a Godsend. I love this story. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope to hear periodic updates :) [/QUOTE]
