Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I had a cherry coke at dinner. Very stupid. No sleep for me!

Now tagless for your comfort.
What's unschooling? Is that like home schooling without the home schooling?
Essentially, yes. It took root in Texas where the homeschooling rules are so loose that there are no rules about what you teach your kids, or how or when. One leading pioneer of unschooling had a son who didn't learn to read until he was 13. It's entirely child-led. The kids learn whatever THEY want to learn and nothing they don't. It's actually very involved for parents. I know two families who do it.
I'm pretty sure I could leave Owen alone and he'd learn a lot. Not so sure about Liv.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Lilty! Where have you been ?
I think my DH could have been unschooled in the right circumstances. I would have learned to read. and some odd ball facts, without coherence. DH makes all the connections, and I don't. While my BIL and SIL are not unschooling, their son is leading the way in a lot of his upbringing. For awhile, It didn't look like a great idea, but now that he is in school it seems to be working pretty well.

All is well that ends in pizza.
These boys who play with dolls also sometimes *gasp* help their mother bake!
I helped both my mother and father bake. Not sure where that puts me.
Ever make a #10 can full of cookie mix?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My dad and his five brothers are all excellent cooks. They learned from their dad.

When my parents got married, my mom didn't know how to cook. My dad, child of a single mom for a few years, did all of the cooking.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The kids learn whatever THEY want to learn and nothing they don't.
So long as I'd been motivated enough to learn to read, I'd know everything in the encyclopedia and a weird set of regional cooking encyclopedias. Those were my favorite things to read growing up. And reading was my favorite part of learning.
Sadly none of this has ever helped me figure out the actual name of a frog that starts with x. I read two encyclopedias trying to figure that one out. And then someone handed me a glass of vodka and offered to teach me to fight with sticks, so I, being out of new encyclopedias, was distracted. Um, I was 26 at the time. Still bugged about the frog thing though.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
When my parents got married, my mom didn't know how to cook.
Mine too. My dad taught my mom to cook. I learned from both parents. Dad's the one who taught me the secret of keeping scrambled eggs from sticking to a stainless steel pan.
