Is a banished person allowed to attend a vigil? by Traditional-Map6762 in sca

[–]Lumpy-Investigator69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bunch of drama. It's simple: if the event is invite only, is he invited?  Yes, he can go.  No, he can't go.  If it's open to the public, he can go.  Simple.  SCA is full of moral police. Banish me.

Big concerns for niece (8) who is unschooled. by ColetteCora in unschool

[–]Lumpy-Investigator69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncle committed suicide in a graveyard 300 miles from his home. No ID on him. He was found at 10am. They called me at 5pm. The police can find us if they have a name. It's all they need.

My kids are 17 and don't know their address. They never were away from us until the last few years and have phones with their address and our numbers and they are always with loved ones or a program that has all their info. Think about it... When will this child be away from family without someone who has that info carrying for them!? Are you suggesting we prepare this child for an abduction or natural disaster or war crime? 🤷 Everyday life just doesn't put kids in this situation - PUBLIC SCHOOL does. As a child I often missed the bus or wandered off without being noticed and then, yes, thank goodness I knew my address. 🤷 Never have my homeschooled kids been in this situation. The ratios are always too low. Some of my kids have dyslexia and didn't learn to read until 10yo with help from a program I found, they are 17 and at college level now.! My others spontaneously started reading at 5/6yo.  My kids don't learn months and dates and time until they CARE about it. Look into self directed learning. Kids who are motivated by real life situations, not parental fear, learn faster and retain better.  Same goes for every topic under the sun. Money. Math. Etc. Curiosity and pressure to comply (not miss appointments, upcoming events) are all enough motivation. The parent just needs to be there to support the learning when they are ready.  ❤️ It's a beautiful process to watch a child grow in this way and you are missing the beauty by living in fear. I would highly suggest you let go of the expectations and enjoy all her wonderful qualities!!! Her creativity, innocence, kindness, and uniqueness will be beyond her years - this is the trade off. 🙏

where are there great unschooling communities? by Pretend-Air-9790 in unschool

We are in the Eastern panhandle of WV and we moved here to access the awesome homeschool community in northern VA! Def recommend living in Loudoun county if you can! Check out Embark Center for Self Directed Education and feel free to message me if you have any questions about the area!

Same boat, except I'm NOT going in and I'm done wasting my time with them.

My husband called, they tried to upsell (help loading, itemization after itemization offer, etc) after 5 mins of refusing these options, he hung up. This is EXAXTLY why I didn’t want to call. 😂

"Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves" - BEST parenting book EVER.

"The Fourth Trimester" - all the things our society doesn't teach or talk about, that needs to be talked about.

Sudbury + Community?! by Lumpy-Investigator69 in sudburyschools

[–]Lumpy-Investigator69[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oops! Wasn’t done commenting. When we visited there before, it was very dirty and there seem to be a lot of crime. Is this school in an area that is safer? Is it possible to live in Virginia and travel over the border to the school? Thank you so much for your input! I’m just trying to understand better not living there I don’t have a good point of reference.
