But Mary Hood is. Is that woman ever home? She must do a different
conference every week!

I heard her speak years ago. I asked her about unschooling. Big mistake.
She was pretty insistent that they weren't. It's funny now because now I
know she was right but at the time I sure thought they were. Couldn't figure
out why she wouldn't admit it. ;-)

Bad company, no doubt.

Barb, are you making a visual pun by capitalizing e.e. cummings, making him,
who is known for using lower case, "like everybody else"?

Nancy, who notices such things but can't remember most phone numbers ;-)

Barb Eaton

Nope. I picked it up somewhere and it stayed like that. Probably from
PowerQuotes. Do you think I should? :-)

affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best on
others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a
garden path, a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lives. This is to have Succeeded."

Really? I saw her at this thing in Boxborough, MA that claims to be inclusive
but was so weird. I was prepared to hate her, but really didn't. She was
pretty upfront about unschooling, even used the word (Said, Oh, it's really all
the same thing).

Funny thing...when I was first considering homeschooling I went to the
library for books about it, and ran first into <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0963974033/qid=1060602068/sr=1-12/ref=sr_1_12/002-3984413-1804037?v=glance&s=books">Onto the Yellow School Bus and
Through the Gates of Hel</A>l. Oh my....I realized that we might be very lonely.... At
the time, I didn't realize that SHE was the mellow one!

Yes I was surprised but I think it was the company we were in. ;-) I had
to travel an hour out of town to go. Very uptight group. There wasn't anyone
there that I knew but I was really quite new to even homeschooling. She was
nice but I felt I made her uncomfortable with my questions so I dropped it.

Read, every day, something that no one else is reading.
Think, every day, something that no one else is thinking.
Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do.
It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
