I've added two very short videos (90 seconds, and 55 seconds) to my English page. They're different, and good.

Longer video, two hours, with a transcript I edited myself. Episode 6 of Season 2 of The Ladies Fixing the World (Cecilie Conrad, Sue Elvis and Sandra Dodd)

Podcast series I'm part of

"The Ladies Fixing the World" (Season Two)

This podcast is three moms (I'm one) discussing elements of unschooling. The host is Cecilie Conrad (Danish, but traveling with her family, mostly in warm southern Europe), Sue Elvis (in Australia) and me (in the U.S.). You can tell us apart by our accents, so if you watch an episode to see what we look like, podcasts might be enough subsequently.

Nine episodes have been recorded, and three published so far. I added the links to:

Spoken Word and Video files

...and have also brought them here.

At the image below, you can listen directly. Here are links to YouTube if you like to see faces.

Purpose, Medieval boy-art

New page on the idea of "purpose"—having purpose, and living with purpose:

"Thinking about Violence" has a NEW sample of what boys doodle in notebooks! (well... it's not "new" but new to that page!)


Sorry I haven't kept up better with announcements of additions to pages. There have been a few, but this one's exciting. More information at
