Ren Allen's family is in People Magazine, the 5/22/06 issue (Brooke
Shields cover), page 141, about unschooling.

Ren comments on it in her blog, here:

It's fun to see how big their yard is. I had seen a photo of the
other side of the house. The article isn't as bad as some I've seen,
but the title is BIG and says "Is This Any Way to Learn?"

I have mixed feelings.

Gold Standard

Funny thing...I was on page 134 of my People magazine just tonight, reading
about kids serving the community, not knowing anything about the article on
unschooling.

Then I read your email Sandra. I went right to it.

I thought it was a great article...particularly compared to some of the
press happening here locally in Phoenix. The title sucks, but that's really
the only downfall I think. Ren's and Maureen's family examples are fabulous,
and recognized positively in the article...it would DEFINITELY interest me
if I was seeking an alternative for my schooled or even homeschooled
children.

Thanks Ren to you and your family for opening your home and lives to People
Magazine, and their HUGE distribution. Your representation of unschooling
was really beautiful.

Jacki, who also loves Ren's yard :o)
