Repair of PBS link

http://www.pbs.org/parents/education/homeschooling/unschooling-101/

The address/url is right, but the first quotation marks were missing from the html coding. Sorry about that.

This link is to go with Who can Unschool?

Thursday chat reminder

February 25, Who can Unschool?
PBS LINK FIXED below.


If you want some warm-up info, there's a very short article (that quotes me!), and a fifteen-minute podcast. And it's likely that when you read and listen, you'll think of someone you want to send that link to.

[PBS is the U.S. Public Broadcast Service—the educational television network. My name is on their site. Woohoo!

Why chats are different for different people


First: The last three chat transcripts (very slightly edited) are at the Chat Transcripts blog, here:
chattranscripts.blogspot.com


What it's like in an Introvert's Head could explain why some people don't like (or can't read or enjoy) fast chats. It's images, not text, so don't be shy about having a look. It might help you with an introverted relative or friend, too!

In the chat on February 8, I wrote a bit how the chats work (and don't work):
Sandra Dodd: I have mentioned somewhere a time or two (on the writing page? in here?) that this chat uses something that school never EVER taught.

Sandra Dodd: But many workplaces need it. And it's still not taught.

Megan Valnes: Ok, what's that?

Sandra Dodd: Real-time writing.

Sandra Dodd: So for those who don't mind confusion (when three conversations weave back and forth like a car chase), or who can type fast and think fast and won't get a headache, this can be fun, in a mental-gymnastics way.

Sandra Dodd: But it's not for everybody, I know.

Peaceful Parenting chat, February 18


Karen Dematos made this art, and wrote:
I saw "Honest Conversation Hearts from Parents" that weren't so nice. So I made some new ones to share for Valentine's Day:
(I should add some of these were inspired by Joyce Kurtak Fetteroll's Unschooling Toolbox!)

The chat this Thursday will be about peaceful parenting. You might be inspired by the sweet messages above,
and maybe listen to this podcast on peace and unschooling:

or you could read here:

Next three chats, and subscribe!

The subscriptions and mail-out are working again. But the bad news is, that I trashed the old mailing list and created a new one. So you might need to re-subscribe, at the right, on the blog (or at the drop-down menu, if you're not on a proper computer).

Next three chats:
February 18 Peaceful Parenting
February 25 Who can Unschool?
March 3 Uses of "the media"

February 11 chat reminder

A chat on abundance and such.

Feedburner shows nine subscribers now, instead of zero. I'm sending this little reminder as a test.
Thursday... if I'm not in the room at noon, it will not hurt my feelings if someone reminds me.
