Confessions of a terrible mom

Submitted by lishevita on Sun, 04/11/2010 - 17:44

I have a somewhat unconventional way of parenting. Sometimes it works out fabulously. Sometimes, not so much. (But, then, you can say the same thing for conventional types, too, right?)

I have a fantasy...

Of a place for learning and doing and saving the world with a combination of high and low tech. It would be a place where the "maker philosophy" would be spread. Instead of focusing on how bad the world is, we'd focus on how to take the world into the next phase.

Life as Art

Submitted by lishevita on Fri, 06/19/2009 - 01:25

I have been thinking about the ways in which life is art. How you live your life, the way that you shape your days, what you choose to do with your time, is all part of a tapestry. Parts of your life become stories, myths or even legends. Some of your life may be strikingly poetic. Single moments may be paintings in the eye of memory. And then there are the physical artifacts that you create or change: your home, the food you cook, maybe even literal paintings you draw or films you create.

Why I love Homeschooling

This is re-posted from another journal of mine which is mostly friends-locked. I'm posting this here because this site gets a wider range of readers, and also because people outside my small circle of friends are more likely to feel comfortable commenting here, and I would, very much like to read your comments or blog posts on the subject of homeschooling.

Can you say "unschool"?

Seth Godin wrote about what school is good for in his post on January 31st, and then followed it up with another post on February 8th in which he discussed the fact that many people just stop actively trying to learn the day that they graduate from school.
