This is a discussion list and a list for posting activities and get togethers. We are unschooler's, but not exclusively so.

A general atmosphere of respect and lots of YES! for children is an important aspect of our lives. We are interested in communicating and getting together with other unschoolers on Delmarva for socialization and support.
