Barb wrote a new post, As Unschoolers, How Do We Learn and Live?, by Nadine Lee, on the site Network – HEM 5 months, 2 weeks ago

What a profound moment this was for me when it really sunk in––that life itself is learning, and so I would only be able to share my experiences with life––with no separation between learning and life. I finally […]
Barb wrote a new post, Losing Control and Finding My Way, by Michelle Van Doren, on the site Network – HEM 5 months, 2 weeks ago
