I know December is a busy month, but I hope you take a few minutes to go check out the Carnival of Unschooled Life at Susan's The Expanding Life blog.
I enjoyed all the posts, but I think my favorite this month has to be "You're Not Really an Unschooler Until Somebody Calls The Cops," posted at Roots and Wings. And, I think my favorite part of the post is the way that the cops reacted! It cracked me up.
If you have some time, grab your favorite drink (warm, cold, Mother's Little Helper, whatever you need) and curl up by the computer to check out lots of great posts in two locations:
The Carnival of Unschooled Life is up over at Susan's wonderful blog, The Expanding Life. I'm not sure that really radical unschoolers would count my family among their number, but I certainly think of myself as an unschooler; if you count yourself as one, then consider submitting a post for the next Carnival of Unschooled Life, due November 30th. But in the meantime, just go enjoy this one.
Also, at one of my new favorite blogs, The Informed Parent, this week's Carnival of Homeschooling is up. The Informed Parent always has interesting videos (think TED Conference) and links; I wish I could figure out why Blogger won't update it in my blogroll! One of those irritating things that I might someday figure out the answer to.
Hope you enjoy these Carnivals!
If you haven't seen it yet, the Carnival of Unschooled Life is up over at The Expanding Life. Some favorite posts: Exploring The Universe and What's Up With Us. Both are in the Life at Home section of the Carnival, which I guess just shows you what kind of mood I've been in lately. I'm feeling very curl-up-with-a-good-book-and-a-cup-of-tea, I guess, and I love to read about what families are doing while hanging out at home.
I also got wind of a great article about homeschooling, Confessions of a Homeschooler, the first in a series of articles at Salon online about homeschooling. Author Andrew O'Heir is the working-outside-the-home dad in a homeschooling family, and at least five times while reading this article, I laughed out loud at some question or thought that has come up for us, in our homeschooling family. It's a fun, thoughtful take on this crazy (in a good way, of course!)life, and I'm looking forward to the next installment.
I am so proud to be a part of my friend Susan's newest endeavor, The Carnival of Unschooling. It's a monthly carnival, and if you have a post about your family's experiences that you would like to be included in the September Carnival, then you should submit it by August 30th.
But whether you do or you don't, go and check out the carnival for August, up at her blog, The Expanding Life. It's a great start to what I'm sure is going to be a great resource for those who are unschooling, and those who are thinking about it. Thanks Susan!
