ok, this is the first I’ve heard of the carnival. If I had more info, I might be willing to help in some way- if help is still needed. I live and breath unschooling. Strangely enough I’m often told “I’m not organized enough to unschool” And here I thought I unschooled cuz I wasn’t organized enough not to?

What is involved in running the carnival? And if it is something I can handle, an I qualified? Or is there some sort of application process?!

Fondly,
Captain Mom

[...] Besides the awesome Carnival of Unschooling, there are so many resources out there for ideas and encouragement. I think I actually found Life Without School through a Carnival post, and have them on my must-read list now. Today Tammy talks about how no matter what you call it or how you define it, unschooling just IS. As a person who really tries to define and explain myself and what I do, I found this really refreshing. Who cares if we use worksheets or use a schedule. Who cares if you think we’re ‘really’ unschoolers. We are. We do. We learn. [...]

I always totally foul up most anything I try to take charge of or organize — I’m more of a worker bee, lol! But I hope someone will take it over, I’m still exploring this whole unschooling thing and I gain more and more insight every carnival!

>>>though maybe some of us who have contributed could rotate it if you guys were able to set up a central e-mail that could be forwarded to the right place.>>>>>

I would be interested in helping out. I would hate to this this just fade away.

I want to thank you for organizing this carnival even when your own lives are so clearly more busy than usual. I hope someone can take it over (though maybe some of us who have contributed could rotate it if you guys were able to set up a central e-mail that could be forwarded to the right place…) as I really enjoy this one.

Those questions really sparked some interesting posts. I didn’t find time to really sit and think about them and write about them but I appreciated the asking of them. I’m sure some of us will respond at some future point.

I hope someone takes over this Carnival, there’s always at least one blog to discover from me when reading the Carnival and I’d really miss discovering new wonderful unschooling blogs
(I’d do it myself, but I don’t really feel up to the task)
