Education – A noun or a verb?
| April 26, 2012 | Filled under Education |
I love the way that life will often present to me two sides of a coin, and leave me to draw my own conclusions. Take the case of two ladies that I know. JM didn’t have a very academic education, and gave up her chance to go to university to clear the way for… more..

One of the big problems I have had with my homeschooling is that there are so many people blogging about it!

| January 12, 2012 | Filled under Inspiration |

‘Not-quite reading’ homeschool blues!
| November 30, 2011 | Filled under Homeschooling, Technology |
I bumped into a friend today and she reminded me of the ‘not-quite reading blues’! Lots of homeschooled children, especially if you are autonomous or unschooling, learn to read later than average.

Lindsey Wright is fascinated with the potential of emerging educational technologies, particularly the online school, to transform the landscape of learning. She writes about web-based learning, electronic and… more..
When did you last ‘not’ miss out on something?
| October 19, 2011 | Filled under Homeschooling, Parenting |
I went to Germany recently and was asked a lot of questions about homeschooling – they were probably especially interested as it isn’t legal there.
