ABOUT PAM:
At Cocking a Snook, JJ Ross wrote:
Our articulate, introspective friend Pam Sorooshian is a real-life unschooling inspiration to so many loving parents. As her own three daughters grew into (very smart and well-socialized!) young women, we’ve been privileged to see Pam focus more of her prodigious compassion, intelligence and educator skills on helping younger moms understand and begin living by unschooling principles.
Like Sandra Dodd, I think this is Pam’s calling, her mission—her way to help make the real world a better place not in the gauzy possible future, but right this minute.
She’s really good at it, too. At least she sure does get to me!
and then Pam was quoted, and it's worth reading!

"As we get older and our kids grow up, we eventually come to realize
that all the big things in our lives are really the direct result of
how we've handled all the little things." —June 4, 2007
