There Is No Uncaring In Unschooling
"He'd fooled us. He'd been learning all along--we just hadn't been able to see it because it didn't follow from our "teaching." It came from doing, sharing, and observing, from osmotically absorbing what was around him. I recalled that he once said to Mark, who was giving him snowboard instruction, "Dad, would you stop trying to teach me and just let me learn?"

Cannot believe your "fall garden" -- everything in my garden has turned brown, as well as most of the grass. The chickens are furious about it. Tonight we're expecting a frost. Blah. I miss NC.
I wondered how that experiment turned out...wow!! I just ate and am hungry again for really good fresh greens!
This awesome rain hasn't been so awesome for the greens. They got beat down a bit and the aphids--oy, Aphids what up? When they perk back up you should come fill a basket for your family, CC.
Heather, you too, I wish.
