RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

Urgent Email needed for Romanian Homeschoolers

I got this from the Home School Legal Defense Association mailing list:

Quote:Homeschooling is not legal in Romania, even though the homeschool movement is steadily growing. Home School Legal Defense Association has been working with Gabriel Curcubet, president of the Romanian Home Schooling Association, in order to convince the Romanian government to specifically recognize and legalize homeschooling.

For now, we have achieved a way for homeschooling to exist, but this solution is only temporary. A recent change in Romania's leadership has given an opportunity for homeschooling to become legal.

The Romanian homeschoolers have requested that homeschoolers from America and around the world email the members of the two education committees in Parliament immediately. The new Ministry of Education wants to review the Education Law projects and to complete this national education law in November. Therefore, time is of the essence.


Will you please take a moment and send an email to help our brothers and sisters in Romania enjoy the freedom we have in America?

ACTION REQUESTED

Please send an email which states:

"Honorable member of the Committee for Education, Science, Youth, and Sport:

"We respectfully urge you to consider the petition of the Romanian Home Schooling Association regarding homeschooling. We ask you to include homeschooling in the new educational law as they recommend."

Also include a paragraph about the social and academic success of homeschooling in your family.

To email the members of these Committees, please go to http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=4527 ; this webpage will enable you to write one email which will then be sent to all the members of the Education Committee of both the Chamber of the Deputies and the Senate.

By sending this one email through our website, 35 members of parliament will receive your individual message from your email address.

You can send your email through November 28, 2007.

Thank you very much for taking a few moments to make a difference for the homeschoolers in Romania.

Sincerely,

Christopher J. Klicka
