Submitted by Lynn on Tue, 31/03/2009 - 11:00pm
Would members of your unschooling family get a kick out of sending and receiving postcards from other unschooling families around the world?! That is the purpose of this group -- to unite unschooling families from across the globe through tangible tokens of Joy delivered right to the mailbox!
There is no need to debate whether or not a post fits into the unschooling lifestyle here. This is a relaxed group of unschoolers focusing on inclusion and fun.
