Parents should be encouraged to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, not textbooks or methodologies first and foremost. it is difficult sometimes as a Christian homeschooler to be Spirit-led in educational choices if we are trying to conform to what our or someone else's view of "Christian homeschooling" is or is not. I feel our family is being called to a more relaxed educational style and I am SO encouraged by the existence of blogs like yours that dare to speak out of your freedom in Christ about your educational choices.Encourager Mom- Victoria Carringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10996051759118292336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120529594924464687.post-71596280682171825542010-08-26T02:32:01.975-07:002010-08-26T02:32:01.975-07:00Thanks, Elissa, for writing your book with Teri, a...Thanks, Elissa, for writing your book with Teri, and also for being a champion for Christian unschooling. There's a link up at my site -- we'd love to have you join us. More and more Christian homeschoolers are learning to let go of the institutional structures so their kids can learn naturally!<br />The link-up is at http://www.sparklingadventures.com/index.php?id=985<br /><br />Love,<br />Lauren.Sparkling Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142695077392364588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120529594924464687.post-25996537966248307462010-03-08T12:33:33.877-08:002010-03-08T12:33:33.877-08:00Thank you for this post, Elissa.

I'm still looking for the way to do it that's best for our family, but am leaning toward a combination of eclectic and unschooling methods. Your post is so encouraging.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681954842634261368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120529594924464687.post-39105971071384535492009-12-14T10:11:11.226-08:002009-12-14T10:11:11.226-08:00Coming from the East Coast myself, I know that NY ...Coming from the East Coast myself, I know that NY and PA are harder than other states to unschool in...but not impossible. And there are people doing it!<br /><br />I really suggest talking with other local PA unschoolers, see what they do...what kind of wording they use, maybe certain educational tracking software, etc. They've already created the wheel...you don't have to re-create it!<br /><br />I found a PA Unschoolers email loop...hopefully that will be a good jumping off point for you.<br />http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PA-Unschoolers/<br /><br />There is also a Radical Unschooling Group...they may be helpful with law questions...<br />http://familyrun.ning.com/group/keystonestateradicals<br /><br />Best of luck!Elissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649990517497383986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120529594924464687.post-68147623199953801682009-12-14T05:05:28.109-08:002009-12-14T05:05:28.109-08:00I am a christian mother that has been homeschoolin...I am a christian mother that has been homeschooling my 9th grade daughter for 2 yrs through an online school. We just moved here to PA and have had not good experiences with the online school. I have been doing lots of reading and research on unschooling and I believe this is what I would like to procede to do with my daugther but PA seems to be really tough on this way of teaching. What can I do????Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027950605096491846noreply@blogger.com
