There's definitely some bias, but the facts and quotes themselves are accurate.

folding up my thoughts and sending them out to you...
Well, hey!
Being the ravings of a lunatic housewife as she attempts to untangle the knotted threads of reality that are wound around our everyday lives.
It's me, Erin. I'm glad you came by.
It's me, Erin. I'm glad you came by.
"Five senses; an incurably abstract intellect; a haphazardly selective memory; a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than a minority of them-never become even conscious of them all. How much of total reality can such an apparatus let through?"

very interesting. i especially love the part where i'm compared to a nazi who can't think for myself... just kidding! it was very informative. i loved my uga class on foundations of education in america, it was really neat to see how ga had evolved over the years in their views of ed.
I know. Graduate of public schools myself. The history part of the video was interesting. Opinion tends to taint stuff, though. ('specially if it's slightly-crazy opinion.)
This video made me want to read up on the history of public education. I'm glad we live in a time where people can opt out of the public system if they so chose. There are a lot of options available. I also think it's wonderful that every child living in this country has access to a free education. Where would we be without that?
By the way Erin, why did you chose to homeschool your kids. A couple of my neighbors homeschool their children, and I think it's an interesting choice. Any thoughts?
So that my kids won't grow up to be Nazis like me...just kidding.
I know that there are a lot of people for whom the classroom-and-a-teacher model works. My sister is among them. She loved earning every gold star they gave her.
For me, it didn't work so well. (doesn't help to be staring out the window when somebody's trying to TEACH you something...) So we researched other options and decided homeschool might be a good way to go for us.
We really like that the kids get to spend precisely the amount of time they need on anything, and then they can move on. And watching the older two learn to read was priceless.
Hey Erin can you send an invite to your stechbook blog... lunt.family@hotmail.com
thanks..
