Interviews re-discovered; recordings of presentations

Two interviews (originally on paper; then on website; now my website):

Why a Former Teacher Kept Her Own Kids Out of the Classroom

Debating How Kids Learn—Interview, rescued, in which I was quoted (and was given the last word):

Infants, Food Connections, Debating "Balance"

Something added to the page on Infants (second section, for now):
https://sandradodd.com/babies/infants.html

Food Connections / Food Tie-in with Books and Movies Page started long ago, found and expanded with a discussion from 2002
https://sandradodd.com/foodconnections

New page of older interview:
Debating How Kids Learn—response to "an expert" who said unschooling was ridiculous
https://sandradodd.com/interviews/debatingHowKidsLearn.html
(unfortunately, not a direct, real response, because the conversation was created by the interviewer from two interviews, but she let me win)
