Ok here are a few topic ideas, just to get things going, or feel free to invent one of your own.
1. How radical do you have to be to be a homeschooler? - It seems to me that on many lists I belong to, my ideas and opinions are often considered not homeschoolerish enough. I.e. My views on parenting are fairly conservative, relatively traditional, and not generally even remotely "radical". Is this an artifact of the medium itself, do online homeschool families tend to be more radical than those who are not on the net? Are homeschoolers in general more radical/extremeist than other families?
2. Internet pornography- is this an area where children should be allowed to explore, with or without their parents knowledge? Is this a dangerous doorway to addiction, behavioural problems, devaluing of the feminine, or is it curiosity and exploration?
3. What is our duty to the world at large as a parent? Do we owe it to society to teach children that there are some areas in life that are black and white/ right or wrong, and that they cannot choose when to cross those boundaries. Or as parents do we allow our children to discover their own boundaries, and define them how they choose?
4. Do we as homeschooling parents, have an influence on the world as a whole, that is different from that of other parents? What is our political powerbase? How do we utilize that to create change for the better for our children and ourselves?
5. Add one to the list!
