  1. Homeschool Mama

    ABC'S and 123's Teaching young ones how to read. Next Geometry and Chemistry. Now on to ancient history. Back to letters and the sounds they speak. All the while a toddler is tugging at my knee. The dog needs to be fed and probably outside to pee. But right now I am chilling in ancient Greece and teaching about Socrates. The life of a homeschool mama isn't for the weak. Through every lesson, it's His strength we seek.

  5. A couple of weeks ago, the Little One captured a praying mantis in the garden.

    They then went to the library and brought everything they could find about mantises, learned what they eat and built a fruit fly trap to keep it fed. They've also kept a scientific journal of it, now named KamaChan.

    Recently the mantis shed its skin, a huge deal. Notes were made on the journal.
    I feel a bit sorry for the critter, but LO is doing their best to be kind and keep it comfortable.

  10. @saltphoenix I dunno when we last actually interacted. I followed you back when twitter was cool and SMS based... I had set things up so I got a text any time "#unschool" was used.

    I'm glad to have found you again here and find that you're even cooler than I remember.

    I recently learned that a dear old friend lives in Lahaina these days. If I can make a visit work out some day and it lines up with y'all needing a hand I'd love to. I also have family on Oahu I haven't seen in forever. I don't know how reasonable it is to try and visit 3 islands in one trip, but it's all a distant dream right now anyway.

    👋😃 Hello, fellow alt ed advocate! Radical unschooler here. :)

    Fairly often I post or tag items with the hashtags #walkaway #DIY #homeschool #unschool . It’s great having others use those hashtags as well.

  17. Anyone who knows me well knows that child autonomy is extremely important to me.

    Stumbled across this article while enjoying my morning coffee. This book, as well as Peter Gray's "Free to Learn" were instrumental in opening my own eyes to so much.

    I rarely talk about this stuff on my general socials, but I felt the need to share. I'll also link to both "How Children Learn," As well as "Free to Learn," which as I said are excellent and must-read titles for anyone who follows youth rights or believes in unschooling, or simply wishes to learn how to be a better ally to children.
