Educating Magpies

Ok, I admit this was a bad idea

If anyone out there is still there, I just wanted to give you a heads-up that I’m giving up this blog. I’ve had my other blog for years, mostly about books and homeschooling (Educating Magpies was to be only homeschooling), but I can’t keep up two blogs. That’s why it’s cobwebs and crickets here. So, if you [...]

Exactly!

Snipped from SpunkyHomeschool blog: How do you make unschooling illegal? Do you write a statute into each state saying “unschooling” is illegal. Well what is unschooling? Is it those who don’t use textbooks but are guided by the family’s interests and the parents’ principles? Or is those who don’t use textbooks and the children select all [...]

Why all homeschoolers should be miffed with the way ABC News treated unschoolers

For those of you not in the know: Lovely, no? Whether or not you are a radical unschooler, you should find this piece of “news” presented to a national audience worthy of your outrage. A small clip of only two radical unschooling families to measure all of unschooling? Lame, shoddy reporting. Shame on you, ABC News. If the talking [...]

Comings and goings

Lots of comings and goings around these parts late last week. I like it. I don’t like it. I know! I can’t figure myself out either. Two invitations to two separate Usborne book parties on the same day. One during the day, many kids converging in my friend’s backyard. Much conversation for me with the other moms. [...]

The girl creative

Do you have one of these girls? Dance, paint, draw, cook, sing. Her days dedicated to creating, many moments committed to expression. The other day, a roll of masking tape became a way to decorate walls, mirror, desk and door. A read-aloud book is acted out, a Bible story re-told in detail. My girl loves to [...]

Product review: an e-zine to help you save

Molly’s Money Saving Digest: Evaluate, Prioritize, Organize (January 2010) What I liked: 1. The pie making tutorial. I say tutorial, because this is more than a recipe, it’s a step-by-step teaching with lots of text, pictures, tips and quips; excellent for us kitchen dunderheads (er. . . like me) who need extra help. Molly calls it a [...]

It’s Canada Goose, not Canadian. Even mom learned something new.

Once a month we meet up with a group of fellow homeschoolers for what I call Park Class. Basically, we have a county park Naturalist come out to share his or her wisdom. Good stuff for those of us who dislike the traditional pencil and paper approach to home educating. Saturday we had Laura at Hoffman [...]
