I have read Grace Llewellyn's, "Freedom Challenge." I have visited
Donna Nichols-White and enjoy and appreciate her delightful black
unschooling family.
But the Hispanics, and the Asians I know very little about. I am trying
to understand. For example the Filipino family had a big neighborhood
party last night and I was able to talk to a Chinese couple and a
Hispanic father. But I wonder what all of you know about the Asian and
Hispanic experience with Alternative Education. I have seen very little
in the homeschooling literature. I do not recognize many Asian names in
the Sudbury publications. I know of an Asian teenager at Puget Sound
community School and I know of one Asian homeschooling family(Hansen)
with a homepage.
But just to give you a leg up on where I am coming from. I think,
until some of you tell me otherwise, that these people are already
different enough(in their own minds) and they are going to be a very
difficult sell in our efforts to encourage families to shop around for
richer learning environments for their children. Dale
