OH oh --- teaching versus learning.... I had something new (I think) to say
about that, believe it or not (thinking that we MUST have said everything
there was to say the last time this came up).

HSC (HomeSchool Association of California) has new t-shirts for sale - we saw
them for the first time at the conference in Sacramento. And GUESS what they
say?

"I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which
they can learn."

Nope --- not quoting Sandra Dodd, who wouldn't CALL her kids "pupils" anyway <
G>. This is Albert Einstein who felt it was important to make the distinction
between teaching and learning.

Linda was saying the other day that they hadn't sold nearly as well as
the last ones - she thought maybe the quote was too long...

Rain and I suggested a Grateful Dead quote for next year, from "Touch of
Gray" - "Kid Can't Read at seventeen/The words he knows are all obscene
but/ It's all right...."

I don't think she went for it.
