• Alternative Education

  
  The Expanding Life — Authority: 411
  New York Times Op-Ed columnist David Brooks has written a really wonderful essay called The Other Education . Although I often disagree with Mr. Brooks on politics, I couldn’t agree with him more on the ideas he writes about here. The alternative education in my title is not charter schools or learning online; it ...

• A New New Plan

  
  The Expanding Life — Authority: 411
  A while ago, I posted A New Plan , and I meant what I wrote at the time. But, things change, sometimes very quickly. What changed for me as I trotted along the path of my new plan was that I missed blogging. I dis covered that I am a blogger at heart. So, now I’m a two-blog woman, a blogamist instead of a ...

• Unschoolers Rock!

  
  Fall Down to Fly — Authority: 120
  What is it about unschoolers being so cool? I got to hang with some new friends yesterday, some I had met last year at Live and Learn briefly, and some we met just then, mixed in with friends in our local group. I dont know if other people have this experience, but every time I get to meet some unschoolers, I feel ...

• Leaf Print Tablecloth

  
  Pepper Paints — Authority: 116
  This is sort of how this project felt…crazy. First off  you will need some flat leaves for this project. Next, you will need a tablecloth to decorate. A quick trip to my local thrift shop got me a gold tablecloth-perfect!  You will also need fabric paint. So,  a hopeful run down the one craft aisle at my grocery ...

• Thursday’s Recipe-Homemade Pumpkin Bagels and Maple Butter

  
  Pepper Paints — Authority: 116
  This was a fun and fairly simple recipe to make and because it uses rapid rise yeast, they don’t take hours to prepare. And the results were delicious!!! I suppose these aren’t “real” bagels because we didn’ t boil them-but the recipe (on tattered piece of paper from unknown origin) calls these bagels. ...

• Learning isnt a race

  
  Learning through Living — Authority: 120
  All of us with children know about milestones. I think that while milestones can be useful to gauge where your child is at it is also harmful to compare them to other children. Children are unique individuals and should be treated as such. I dont like averages because it blurs the lines. My babies all achieved the ...

• Mistakes

  
  Blog of the Zombie Princess — Authority: 129
  I make mistakes every single day. Much of my life has been spent denying that this is necessarily true, and striving, striving, ever striving to make it not true. But it is True, true with a capital T. I err, therefore I am. Enjoying a brief moment of accepting—nay, embracing— this truth, I said to MJ and ...

• The Usual Crisis of Faith

  
  sugar boot and weasel — Authority: 419
  Several things happened all at once. Or several questions came up, I suppose I should say. One was on the matter of giftedness and its meaning. The next was concerned with the learning of mathematics. The last was about laziness. All of these issues are interconnected in the heart of the unschooling parent, or ...

  The Expanding Life — Authority: 411
  Go to where the silence is and say something. –Amy Goodman I’m sure that that Amy Gooodman of Democracy Now meant something having to do with social justice when she said that, about finding a wrong that needs to be righted and speaking out about it.
