>Hi, I usually don't send announcements to this list. But while I've been
on vacation I've had the opportunity to review a neat homeschooling
documentary and wanted to let you know about it. It's called, "Inventing A
Girl" and it is a charming depiction of the life of a mostly unschooled
girl. For those of you who do "follow the child" it is affirming to watch
the film. It might also help relatives and friends to understand this
educational lifestyle. I
think the film would be a very worthwhile purchase for support groups -- as
it could be be viewed at a monthly meeting or be loaned out to new members
seeking information about homeschooling. It would be a great addition to
Home Study or Independent Study libraries and resource centers as well. The
producer is offering a special discount until August 31st -- details
follow...

>After spending two years living with the Borensteins, an American
homeschooling family, acclaimed filmmaker Fernanda Rossi engages the most
skeptical audiences with an entertaining and original film.

>Told from the perspective of a funny and inquisitive nine-year old, this
groundbreaking documentary asks -and answers- 20 essential questions about
homeschooling: How do you learn? Can you go to college? Do you take any
classes?.
>
>Inventing a Girl is the first documentary on homeschooling ideal for:
Homeschoolers curious to learn about the experiences of other homeschooled
kids. And their in-laws and neighbors who are still asking "How are those
kids being socialized?
. Parents considering alternative education.
. Teachers and administrators who want to fully understand what
>homeschooling is.
. Schools and homeschooling organizations as a reference tool.
>
>"I loudly applaud Ms. Rossi's efforts to share this unique approach to
living and learning, to bring new understanding about homeschooling to a
wider audience."
