North Alabama Home Educators
List of Home Education E-mail Lists
Alabama Specific Lists
Alabama Unschoolers (AU)
Run by a homeschooling mom of four in Huntsville. AU is for anyone
in, near or moving to Alabama with an interest in homeschooling with
unschooling leanings. It is open, unmoderated and inclusive. Since
unschooling encompasses our whole lives NOTHING is *off-topic*. Our one
rule is respect. You can disagree with anyone, *including* the listowner,
with no fear of any retribution, but please attack the idea, NOT the person.

Taking Children Seriously
Here is a quote about this list, taken (if I remember correctly) from the Jon Shemitz homeschooling website. "This is not strictly a home-schooling mailing list. It is sponsored by Sarah Lawrence of the eponymous British magazine, Taking Children Seriously and features serious, intense, and all too prolix discussion of what it means to raise children non-coercively, as human beings in their own right."
Homeschooling is discussed along with other topics.
