I followed all your other blogs so the condensing of them into one has been great.<br /><br />I also enjoy seeing how your philosophical thoughts work themselves out in your life. You seem to share so many of my thoughts on education/unschooling/classical etc. so I love to see how that works it's way out and also to learn more about the mix.<br /><br />Kristie<br /><br />KristieThe Beynonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13001494603417715259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039160066439602962.post-58619680148444639692009-07-15T19:11:24.348-07:002009-07-15T19:11:24.348-07:00I'm late....but I love the new all in one blog...I'm late....but I love the new all in one blog...and I like hearing about the passion of the moment - from rinsing pots to philosophy!!!

I've known a few young women who waited to go to college until they were good and ready, and we're thinking along those lines, but I can tell already it's going to be yet another way in which we stand on the outer edge of normal (like the phrase!).Laura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168905598871608315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039160066439602962.post-50751606262242419252009-07-14T20:48:38.018-07:002009-07-14T20:48:38.018-07:00It look to me like you have more than five readers...It look to me like you have more than five readers. ;)<br /><br />I love when you share your experience.

What a lot of you said, I do too -- I read your blogs regularly, but often from the reader, and I don't always comment. <br /><br />I'll be thinking about the questions that came up and if there are any more, please feel free to put them down here even if you come across this post later.Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374272000644968446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039160066439602962.post-38091884964759309802009-07-14T07:33:15.774-07:002009-07-14T07:33:15.774-07:00I enjoy reading your posts, Willa.

When I read it,it described much of my childhood, and I too am probably spinning somewhere on the outer edge of normal. I do have other family members that along with me are probably on the edge of normal, and two or three others that would probably be easily diagnosed with Aspberger's. <br /><br />I am curious about what interested you in his book to begin with. I read it because I suspected that the label fit one of my children.<br /><br />Anyway, I read just about anything you write.<br /><br />EvaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039160066439602962.post-6378519402511776572009-07-13T19:04:16.675-07:002009-07-13T19:04:16.675-07:00I enjoy your educational philosophy posts, and it ...I enjoy your educational philosophy posts, and it only makes sense that you focus on one philosophy at a time.<br /><br />I really like your other philosophical posts, too. I would love to hear more of your thoughts about beauty, kitsch, etc... Ever since reading those posts, I've been musing about that--especially since we are contemplating replacing a definitely kitschy print in our dining room. The choice has paralyzed me for over a year, and so, I sit here still with "The Singing Butler."Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081757519772226348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039160066439602962.post-40474036081005790172009-07-13T18:04:30.830-07:002009-07-13T18:04:30.830-07:00I'd like to hear your thoughts on college.

Also, what are your real thoughts (not that you've been sharing unreal ones ;)) about girls staying at home after high school. I believe your daughter chose that path and my rising senior would like to do that also.<br />KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039160066439602962.post-42931875313870717212009-07-13T15:38:02.235-07:002009-07-13T15:38:02.235-07:00I'm a new reader, so all I can say is, bring i...I'm a new reader, so all I can say is, bring it on!Frabjous Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100553315101394237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039160066439602962.post-2763903432316469342009-07-13T09:09:26.161-07:002009-07-13T09:09:26.161-07:00I love reading your blog, Willa!

It shows that you're a a woman of many interests!<br /><br />Obviously I can't respond too much on the posts about scheduling many children, as that sort of thing doesn't happen much here, but I read as much as I can keep up with, and sometimes print posts out to read again, particularly the posts that relate to something I'm thinking about educationally and philsophically. <br /><br />And I like the combination of classical ed and unschooling. That's my angle of interest, too, though I've never quite figured out a method for it. I'm just rather hoping my daughter catches it by osmosis or something. Maybe she misunderstood, because it seems she caught classical *music* and unschooling, not classical ed and unschooling.<br /><br />And I, too, would like to read your conversion story, if you don't mind writing it out.<br /><br />Oh, and I see you've got Bernd Heinrich's *Why We Run* on you sidebar. My husband read that. Can't read the other titles except Walden. I think I'll go click and look closer.Laura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168905598871608315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039160066439602962.post-37506933157532391072009-07-13T04:43:51.661-07:002009-07-13T04:43:51.661-07:00Another happy reader here :).

I don't comment as often as I should, because I often skim read and don't have the time to ponder as fully as I would like, but your blog helps to keep my thinking about educational philosophy ticking over.

I mainly used to hang out on your learning blog before, but I'm enjoying the combo of the four.<br /><br />To answer your question, I'm really enjoying your philosophy posts and I'd enjoy hearing more on how that practically translates in your learning lives. <br /><br />Mmm I've never heard the story of your conversion and I just want to know, 'what reservations and why?'<br /><br />Then again I'd love to hear about your everyday lives.

Tony Attwood recently appeared on the Australian version of Sixty Minutes suggesting that children on the ASD are less intimidated by the fewer animal facial expressions than the numerous human facial expressions.
