Carnival of Unschooling
November 22, 2005 By
With a hat-tip to The Education Wonks and the Carnival of Education, we’ve decided to toss our own hat in the ring and start up the Carnival of Unschooling.
What is a carnival? A collection of excellent and compelling blog posts on a particular topic. In this case, unschooling. I realize there will be a bit of an overlap, but unschooling and how it works here in the real world needs more publicity.
So, please send links to interesting posts on unschooling from the past month or so. We’ll consider anything from October 1st onwards. It can be written by you or someone else. You have until the end of the month, November 30th, to get them in and we’ll post them as soon as possible after that, definitely by the following Monday.
Send those submissions to: submissions@atypicalhomeschool.net .
The both of us found this disturbing

In New Brunswick, there are more than 600 children in the foster care system who are waiting to be adopted.
In New Brunswick, the most recent “official” number of homeschooling students is 267 for last year, down from a high of 560. I’ve seen estimates of up to just over 600.
More in foster care up for adoption than there are homeschoolers. I don’t know what to say about that, but it’s very saddening.

In an article called “When an idol can’t read”, the Detroit News Insider gave statistics on illiteracy rates. The rate in the title is the illiteracy rate for Detroit. That is mind blowing. Yet another reason to homeschool.
Fantasia, come on over. We can help you with that.
