Unschooling in Iowa?
Please Help! The closest thing to a homeschool support group we have found is where you go to register and stuff, and it’s completely run by the public schools, and we would like to get away from that.

edit #2: I started up an inclusive support group a few years back because there was only one other group, and it was Christian only. To get it off the ground, I sent an add to a local public access channel, to the local papers’ classifieds, and the library bulletin board. You can also set up something like a yahoo group so that people who may not read the paper of peruse the local bulletin boards can still find you.
I live in Oklahoma, my friend just started a really great unschooling group because the only other was was very Christian in focus to the point of exclusion, and even though we are Christians, we weren’t comfortable with that. After just a few short months, it is the best group! We meet often and have lots of fun.
Creative writing. That involves research, ideas, writing out papers on topics, annotating them. Following a style sometimes like APA or CHICAGO.
Sometimes with the goal of getting published, which doen’t require annotations, just citations in the text body.
Getting an electronics kit from Edmunds Scientific or Radio Shack and learning to make electornics things.
Getting a Telescope from Edmunds or other places and a star chart and going out at nights.
Computer programming. I found this totally enjoyble and it teaches you math, logic and even composition and grammar for you have to get it right or it won’t work.
