Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing as a crucible for great education

Hi Fran and others,
Just recently we started a small group meetings (once every
two weeks) of parents interested in ideas around issues of unschooling and
application of Non Violent Communication methods to interaction with our
kids.  (And hopefully with other people's kids, too :)) I'm the only one
in the community at the moment who has an un-schooled child, but sooner or
later there might be others.  Also, we feel that much can be done to
minimize coercion even when one's children are  schooled.
