Fantastic New Article on Home-Schooling in The New York Times!

I love that this is being discussed in wider and wider circles now. The more time I spend in NYC the more I am so excited to share in the babe's discovery of this wonderful world, I hate to think of her cooped up inside a classroom forced to conform...I can see already that she is a free spirit and I wouldn't want anything to put that fire out.

I know so many wonderful, highly intelligent and successful people who have been homeschooled and/or are choosing to homeschool their own children.

Read the article here:

and for some great resources, here's a taste of the literature I delved into while doing my Masters Degree in Environmental Education:

• John Taylor Gatto (an AMAZING man in person and a great thinker)
• The Geography of Childhood
• Caring Education and Meaningful Democracy
• Educating the Child's Inner Power
• The Soul of Educaton
• Paths of Learning: Ron Miller
  

Enjoy!
