I've just added something to my page on divorce. It came up in old e-mail while I was searching for something different. I'm glad I came across it, so it could be saved. It's near the bottom here; you could search "more rights" to find it.

"Near the bottom" doesn't seem best in general, but that page has lots of really good things on it.
Part of the longer writing:
"An intact marriage/family has MANY more rights and freedoms than a split family involved with the court system."

One of my own early parenting inspirations, Lori Odhner, has expressed the wish to own a dogwood tree. That seems EASY! The difference in my life and marriage and relationship with my children that Lori made is HUGE compared to a tree. If any of you know Lori, or have reason to appreciate the help she gave me that I have passed on, take a peek at my project:

I have a regular column in The Homeschooler magazine, which is now available for subscription within the U.S. For many years it was The California Homeschooler, and was published for members of the HomeSchool Association of California. The magazine is in transition to a slightly larger issue. The next issue will have my interview with Schuyler Waynforth, and you can get to more information and subscription information here:

I'm named in two articles in the current online issue of The Journal of Unschooling and Alternative Learning.
