Homestead mailing list

["Lynda" <lurine AT com-pair.net>]

Wellll, at least two of the "homeschooling" folks are unschooling and don't 
really set out to use books, curriculum, etc.  Life happens and children 
learn from life.  Sooo, the skills they would need/learn they would learn 
from doing.  The kidlets didn't learn how to garden or cook or bake or can 
or, or, or from books.  They learned by watching adults and then helping 
adults and asking questions.
