criticism, defense, gradual change and marginal unschooling

...and a great definition of unschooling, and something new on morning glories.

Those who read AlwaysLearning have already seen it.
I was criticized and defended.

I realize I've had lots of updates in the past week. It won't last. For a while, I was only working on SCA pages. I'm going to Arizona on the weekend to speak in Tempe (http://www.hena.us/conference.html)so for a few days I won't be online at all. Don't be afraid that I'll send this many updates all the time.

The photo is by Holly. She put it on my MySpace.

Thanks for reading!

The morning glory video is SO COOL. Thank you for posting it. Two more things about morning glories -- in the Pacific Northwest morning glories aren't the easiest thing to grow. Here they're an annual so they won't re-seed themselves. You have to start them indoors, and it helps to scratch the hard seed coat -- if I don't I don't get any seedlings, and if I do, I get about 25% success rate. But they're the best flower. So beautiful, grow so fast and flower so long. Here, up until frost.
