Tonight I was looking at that new [...]
First softball game of the season
Published in April 26th, 2006
So Allison had her first softball game tonight. I think only one other girl on the team has ever played before.
It was an adventure. We get a late start out of the house, I was wanting to get to the game early so we could get situated and maybe throw a ball around. The ball [...]

Ok, in my new attempts at combining my unschooling core with my husband’s needs to see “something happening”, I resumed “schooling” today.

My epiphany (of the day)
Published in April 17th, 2006
Recently on a list I joined, I engaged in a discussion about my radical views on the educational system, and as I was politely asked to justify my beliefs regarding public schooling, and consequently my reasons for homeschooling, I realized that I really am an unschooler, lol. Like to the core unschooler. Perhaps I require [...]

I am so saddened by discussions on some of my homeschool email lists. One woman wrote in about being frustrated with her two children’s (ages 5 & 3) behavior, whatever should she do?
