Saskatoon Home-Based Educators

http://shbe.info/pages/convention.htm

I just was notified that I'm listed on the webpage for this coming-soon
convention. Here are the listed speakers:


SIGMUND BROUWER IS A RENOWNED AUTHOR OF OVER 50 BOOKS. HIS BOOKS ARE ON OVER
2,000,000 BOOKSHELVES. He is a sought after speaker in home based education
circles as a well as being a very popular informational and motivational
speaker in public circles in the US and Canada. We want to thank Sigmund for
giving us a special rate that has allowed us to bring him in on our limited
convention budget.

Sandra Dodd is a popular speaker in the US at home based education functions.
She looks forward to her first time to talk with Saskatchewan home based
educators. Sandra Dodd taught English for 6 years in New Mexico, before they
choose to home educate their family. None of her children have attended
public school. She has mastered the art of educating without rigid structure.

Cheryl Garrett IS COMING AS A FEATURE SPEAKER. There have been so many
requests for her that we have chosen to invite her for 2003 convention. She
specializes in classical education and organizing your home based education.

HSLDA has been invited by popular request also. It is unfortunate that Dallas
Miller cannot atttend, but he had assured us the someone from the
organization will come to give us some of the update on home based education
situat can seriously effect our lives and the education of our children.

Scary, huh?

I hope it turns out well.

The bio I sent was this:

Sandra Dodd has three children who have never been to school, and who have
never had school at home. She and her husband, Keith, an engineer, live in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, with Kirby (16), Marty (14) and Holly (11) and often
have other teens and children in the house as well, many of them also
unschoolers or homeschoolers. Sandra grew up in northern New Mexico.
After studying English and Psychology at the University of New Mexico, she
taught "Language Arts" and writing to young teens in her hometown of Española
for several years. Sandra is the unschooling columnist for Home Education
Magazine, is active at their www.unschooling.com forum, and has an
evergrowing website, http://SandraDodd.com/unschooling to which she invites
you even if you can't make it to her talks at this conference.


No mention of the magazine the website...
I never would have used the numeral "6" in text!
And I didn't quit teaching to homeschool. I had quit teaching years before I
was ever even pregnant.

It's not idea.

AND I'm not invited to speak in Sacramento at the HSC conference. Rather I'm
invited to be on panels of my choosing, if I get there on my own and pay for
my own room.

Maybe next year, on that one. Holly's disappointed.
