transformative random phrase generators
Sandra Dodd
Okay, this isn't about a program to choose a phrase from a list and
display it.
This is about a generator of random phrases. Maybe it's a person and
maybe it's a "pick two nouns" program, but if any of you get e-mail
spam about penny stocks and such, you've seen them.
This one came from Sadie Mendoza in Germany. I like that all by
itself. But the weird subject to pass spam catchers was...

I think I'd like to list that as my religion or maybe as my
occupation from time to time.
It's what priests do. We heard a really brilliant priest at a
wedding we attended in Southern New Mexico the other day. He was
saying wonderful things I had never heard. But his job and his
religion both are transforming God into a flow that others can
perceive and accept.
Maybe we could consider adopting the term "transistor" as an
adjective for homeschooling, instead of clinging to "unschooling"
which confuses everyone who never heard the "un Cola" commercials of
the 1970's, and causes arguments in France. Could we think of
ourselves as homeschool transistors?
For those who read it (or think of) "REsistors," we would be that, to
them, anyway.
And for people who might say resistors only make a flow smaller, we
could say "If you go to Google and put in 'Can transistors amplify?'
you can read all about it." That will be a good intro to google if
they don't already use it.
Or we could follow with any of these amendments, to help their thinking:
"Okay, we're homeschool inductors" or "Homeschool amplifiers" or
"homeschool op amps" (Homeschool Boosters sounds so 1962/bakesale).
"Homeschool transformers"
YES!! *Robots in disguise*!
Transfomers, more than meets the eye--
Transformers, robots in disguise.
But maybe the old Transformers cartoon theme song would be as lost on
younger moms as the "uncola" reference in "unschooling."
If we think of our job as moms as helping transform the world into a
flow that others can perceive and accept, what could be better?
And isn't learning itself taking information and transforming it into
bits that can be absorbed by our system (our minds, memory and
understanding?)
And quite simply, not everyone has the capacity to do this.
