Netzi Meet-Ups

The last blog was crazy. Thank you Slinky and Sandra Dodd for adding what needed to be said. Unfortunately, I get rant-like when I feel someone's dignity is being trampled upon. I hope you understand. Anyway... Is anyone here willing to host someone? I'm a member of such groups but haven't seen enough posts. So asking the whole community sounds like a good idea. I don't know when I'll visit other places, but I'm still interested in being informed. Continue

Peter Introduction to Hostelling

This is my first blog and i would enjoy to write down a few words about hostels. Hostels are a great method to see the world on a low budget. From the cheapest to the more grand there is something to accommodate every preference and budget. The cool thing about youth hostels is that tons of university students flock to them since they are cheap and enjoyable so there is continuously plenty of student travelers around to party with! In most every other part… Continue

Robyn L. Coburn Call for book participants

I've been detailing my plans for upcoming book and art projects on my Imagination Tribe blog. I know there a few people here who are also IT members, who will see this twice. I’m writing a book currently called “Mending, Making and Mothering”. It’s about living an artistic lifestyle as a family, with case studies from parents who are doing it. I’m interested in documenting how artists combine a continuing arts and crafts practice with parenting, as well as how they prioritize creativity in thei… Continue

Rainbow Rivers How do you handle something like dyslexia?

My daughter is 8, she has been ready and very interested in learning to read since age 4. I suspect dyslexia though as her fathers brother and sister are both extremly dyslexic and my sister is even math dyslexic so it runs in the family. She loves trying to learn to read but gets frustrated quickly and is very difficult for her. When she writes it is perfect.........if you hold it up in a mirror. I have gone through checklists for dyslexia and it looks very promising that she may be struggling… Continue

Netzi Dyed Hair and Mutual Consent

From B-to-the-logger I started this on Saturday, 17 October and finished too-day. My mom went to Orlando, Florida's Walt Disney World Resort with every inhabitant in my house. It's no surprise I was in my grandparents' (mom's side) house. It started with me in the bedroom, lying down and thinking about kids dying their hair. I visit these blogs and websites and see unschooled kids free to express themselves in funky ways: shaved… Continue

Kayla Doreo Freedom and Learning

I wrote a blog on our family blogspot that specifically addresses my thoughts on association of freedom and learning. Basically, it's really a rant about homeschooling requirements that we have in TN. I've been looking into it and came across the requirements. All the requirements are put in place as attempts to keep things within the schooling/education box. I think the requirements are silly but it is the law in the area. Seriously, less govt in our children's lives, the better. We do not need… Continue

Cindy Fallsen medical costs

It is nice to see this blog for homeschooling families. Does anyone know if there are any Medical insurance that give discounts to home schooling families. Maybe they could at least have a Superbowl tickets giveaway. One of the advantages, especially in this H1N1 season to the kids staying at home… Continue

Rachel S. Family Bed - Not For Everyone

Caleb woke me sometime in the middle of the night last night. I knew it was some hazy early morning hour. I could tell I had been asleep at least a couple of hours after I had gone to bed at midnight. He was begging me to come into the living room and help him turn on a movie. I told him to just crawl in bed with me and let's go to sleep. He refused. I told him to use the remote. He said some vague reason that he couldn't. He kept waking me up when I would doze off. The half asleep conversation… Continue

Pat Jewett I am ready to start

Since I lost my job and have some extra time we are going to make the plunge into homeschooling. Of course if the COBRA Medical insurance/Short term insurance bill gets too big for my husband to afford, I may have to go back to work. Anyway, we are so sick of the amount of homework our kids bring home we decided we might as well be tea… Continue

Rachel S. Girls who just can't stop

Lying in bed last night at one in the morning with my daughter, we were the last ones awake. I was reading my book. She was trying to settle down for sleep. She has been sleeping with my deodorant under her pillow the last two nights. She doesn’t want me to see because she’s afraid I will take it away from her. She goes under her blanket and opens the deodorant. I can tell she’s busy doing something. I ask her what she is doing. She says, “don’t look.” It’s too late. I have already glimpsed her… Continue

Netzi Tough

From my recent Blogger post My online Monday time was in the evening, giving me horrible eye pain. I cannot go on with little light, though I can't or don't want to go earlier. Just had to mention that. This is being typed on the public library computer, which sucks because it's always popping up windows about encrypted information. Ugh! Guess it's best to use my grandparents' computer for hours (I really, really like the Internet and go out of hand with usage and time). This week was inter… Continue

Monica Manzano Algebra

Laurence is working on algebra. He said he wasn't quite getting out of this book. On a recent trip to a hpb, half-priced books, I got him some pre-algebra cliff notes. I will have to insert the name of the book that is causing him 'feelings', for lack of a better word yet. At the time I suggested he place ticky notes on each page in the book that was giving him issues. But then I went and found it, it is Advanced Algebra. It may be a TE, teacher's edition and too 'busy' for him. So I explained… Continue

Robyn L. Coburn Tough times call for good ideas...

To all our friends, Hard times have come to the Coburn family. Over the last couple of years the various disasters visited on the film industry and a period of bad luck in the professional arena has led to long periods of unemployment for James. This time last year he was prepping his first movie in about a year. He was very optimistic as he had bookings for three good pictures during 2009, and a promise of a full time job teaching at a film school, for between productions. Through no fault of… Continue

Shasta Parker Advice please

I was wondering if you could give me a little advice? I am unschooling my two girls and its going great with my oldest who is 11. She is really into wanting to be a Ga Ranger and work for the local DNR. She loves to spend her time studying nature and animals. She is always watching nature movies and tv shows on Nova. She asked questions and everything seems so easy because she asks for more. My worry tho is my youngest she is 9 and has always been a little behind as far as learning has gone. I r… Continue

Slinky Mary poppins storage unit.

When we moved out of our house the end of January I thought we got rid of a whole bunch of stuff. I was drowning in mess and stuff and clutter. We moved everything into a 10x20 and there was plenty of room to walk around in and move things. Yesterday we had it moved into the house we have decided to stay in at least till spring. I have to wonder if things did not have multiply in the moving truck. Some how this scant 10x20 unit has filled up the 3 bedroom house to the point its going to be like… Continue
