RE: Gardasil-induced Guillan-Barre Syndrome (GBS) nearly kills Ashlie Snyder -- HPV Vaccine almost Kills One MORE Girl (VaxXed Stories)
I had to come over and check out your page...and as it turns out I am the mother of two children-one unvaccinated (unfortunately I wasn't aware of the dangers with my first child) and both unschooled :) So hello kindred spirit! I am definitely adding you to my list now :)
Wow! Nice to meet you. There aren't too many unschoolers out there and also aware of vaccine dangers.
HELLO Back to you! I have followed you as well.
No, there definitely aren't! It's always such a pleasure to run into someone who understands :) It's been a rough road for me, my entire family is in the medical fields-Rn's, nurse practitioners, etc. and they believe strongly in 'traditional schooling' on top of that. They've accepted my stance for the most part, though they like to blame my husband for it as if I don't have my own mind! The one thing that has helped tremendously is how brilliant (sorry, bragging a bit here) my children are at thirteen and sixteen, and also the fact that my son is never, ever sick. He has the immune system of super man! He not only has not been vaccinated, but he also has never been subjected to antibiotics. And the both of them are constantly hitting me with concepts that floor me, critical thinking is second nature to them and I am really proud of my husband and my choices I have to say ;)
It's awesome that you are educating people with articles like this one. I admit I tend to stick to fiction and more recently photographs and articles about the place I live without giving much about what I believe.
I did put through a short story series called "The Playground" that touches on these subjects, and I plan to start that up again in the summer :)
Thanks again and it's nice to learn more about you.
It's nice to have bright children, isn't it.
My son probably would have struggled in school given that he is very right-brained and the school system is so left-brained.
But since he has had time to pursue what he wants, it is AMAZING the depth of his knowledge on things like electricity, building and computers. When he was only 9-yrs-old an electrician told us that he knew things they don't learn until trades school. Also that year, my husband showed his boss a video of my son running the mini-excavator that we brought home to clean up our yard, and the boss (of an excavation company) said that our son operated it better than many of the operators that he has hired. ha ha
It's nice to hear remarks like that.
He may not have all the book knowledge, but he will be highly employable, or run a successful business of his own.
That's fantastic about your son! It doesn't surprise me, but at the same time it is so nice to hear another individual's success story. That would have absolutely been the case with my daughter, they probably would have tried to label her ADD or some such nonsense, since when she was young she struggled to retain information. But we came up with tricks to help and as she grew older she developed her own tricks. But your story is something to share with my mom, whose beeen known to say things such as "You're lucky you have such bright children". Meanwhile her granddaughter would have probably been placed in remedial classes, and that in combination with her very sensitive nature would have made school, particular the awful tween years of junior high, a hellish experience for her.
Instead she is in the process of working out a business plan for her first ebay store, while my son is filling a notebook with a game he plans to program and build :)
