Hi everyone! We have been back since Monday evening and I am JUST now
getting a chance to check in. Boy and I glad I went "No Mail" cuz I would
feel like I have to read every digest I received while I was gone...lol I
won't go into details here (will write in my blog when I have more time) but
I highly recommend people start planning to attend next years Rethinking
Education (www.rethinkingeducation.com <http://www.rethinkingeducation.com/>
) conference NOW! It was soooo wonderful to be surrounded by parents and
grandparents (and hotel staff) that have the utmost respect for children.
Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend!

In Gratitude,
Christy Putnam

Hi Christy!
Glad you had a great experience! Maybe you can share some of it!

I'm thinking of everyone in NM this week, wishing I was there,
hopefully next year (sounds like it MIGHT be back on the east coast)!

Greetings, everyone,

I've been a lurker for a bit, really curious about unschooling. I was also
at the RE conference, and I also have to say that it was fantastic! Someone
mentioned recently that "it was like someone installed a sun roof in my
head." Wonderful atmosphere, great kids, and a lot of dads. There was even
a couple of Dad's meetings at night, and I got so much out of that as well.
