omg...someone "out there" gets it! Sort of. At least enough that I wanted
to share this with you all. It's a good read and a good way to explain to
nosey family members why you don't want your kid in school. Maybe we should
print out a bunch and hand them out instead of having the same discussion
OVER AND OVER again?

The "someone" is Marion Brady. He is a magnificent advocate for providing children in school with much of what we take for granted as unschoolers -- learning that is actually connected and connected to the real world. And he is also a vocal opponent of the FCAT -- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FCARFORUM/

His website is here -- http://www.marionbrady.com/ -- for those who are interested.
