I am still missing Ned's presence in the Unschooling Community, so while reading his blog today I came across the entry I wanted to share. Kids are Smart, School is Stupid by Ned Vare Luz and I subscribe to Life Learning Magazine, edited by Wendy Priesnitz. In her article, Challenging Assumptions In Education, she gives many reasons why public school is bad. In the Introduction, she tells us, "Schooling impedes learning and enslaves children." (how's that for starters...?)

Unschooling In The Carolinas is a group for unschoolers, with the goal of support, discussions, and fun.

This is a social group for families who are currently unschooling, or homeschooling in a relaxed way and moving toward unschooling. Discussions about the joys and challenges of unschooling are welcome, as is information about interesting events. We would like this list to be free from curriculum discussion. We'd love for it to be a place to share our passions and interesting things we have enjoyed along the way.

It is understood that each family is at a different point in their journey. What we hope to share, is an active desire to move toward unschooling.

Please take a moment to Introduce your family and tell us about your journey. Together, we can explore unschooling and all that the Carolinas have to offer, while being surrounded by families who trust that our children will learn everything they need to know through living their lives and following their passions.
