  Scuplting a New Passion

  http://theorganicsister.com/2010/04/sculpting-a-new-passion/

  It’s been almost three and a half years since Zeb has been out of school. And it’s been five years since he decided – with the negative encouragement from some very poor art teachers at the age of five – to believe he wasn’t an artist.

  In fact, until last week, there were three truths he held firm to:

  1. That only women made good artists
  2. That he was not artistic, nor interested in anything art related
  3. That at some point in the next few years he would have to outgrow his beloved LEGO collection

  Children’s Bill of Rights

  http://psbohemian.blogspot.com/2010/07/unschoolers-bill-of-rights-guest-post.html

  Unschoolers’ Bill of Rights:

  Because it is the most liberating, generous three-letter word in the English language, children have the right to hear their parents say “Yes” at least twenty times a day.

  Reasons For Homeschooling?

  http://bearthmama.com/2009/09/reasons-for-homeschooling/

  5) What are your reasons for homeschooling?

  Autonomy:
  There are many. I was part of the public school system for many years and in many cities and states. I have never attended one that met all my needs. I have a very high IQ and was labeled “gifted”. I needed more freedom and more autonomy over my learning than was possible in a public school setting. I wanted to ensure my children had that autonomy and that they had all their needs met.

  Control

  http://zombieprincess.blogspot.com/2008/01/control.html

  I come from a long line of detail-oriented women who (attempt to) leave very little to chance. When my kids were small, my need for control — and it approached obsessive-compulsive levels in those sleep-deprived days — caused a lot of pain in this house.
