Home school is community learning

One of our learning projects - Tomales Bay clean-up - content for: social studies, math, art, science, language arts, civics. All those areas of study with bonus: adventure, happiness, freedom, good works.

We presented a slideshow and talk at the College of Marin in 2006. You can search an IJ article about this by looking for this title: Turning the simple life into art in Inverness (September 21, 2006)

Wild and Free

I haven't done what Sam Smith maybe has already done with the words Wild and Free. Smith tracks the use and overuse of words. Used is a good word for what is done with words. Used up. Used without regard.

It seems to be that Wild = Free. And the converse is also true. In this contemporary world of unrootedness, which wants to call itself radical - like a root. The age of uncertainty for sure. And the age of contradictions. I decided last May that Orwell's 1948 essay, Politics and the Modern Language, would be required reading for my school.
