Aargh!

Diane Flynn Keith proposes that since the government is trying to say that homeschoolers are outlaws we should:

Hoist the Jolly Roger!

Be A Homeschool Pirate!
Hoist the Jolly Roger!

What a cool idea! I've got the pirate flag by the front door already, all I need to do now is to get a bracket for the staff and I can put it up. I'm going to do this for sure! Be sure to read the story here, there are whole bunch of really cool pirate links at the bottom of the article.

    I'm linking to your post. It's a great idea.
    What is the html code for the waving action on the flag? Can't get it....

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
