An unschooling home education journey for Reuben, born 2008, Isaac, born 2010, and their very fortunate parents who get to share in it, learn more amazing stuff and muck about shamelessly!

Upset with the Sunday Times
A friend of mine bought the sunday times (I would normally have nothing against it, my mother reads it) and I found myself getting rather cross just looking through it. First comes an article (in the main paper) on how bullying is good for children as it teaches them to stand up for themselves... do we want to go there? Then (in the style magazine) there's a review on the latest Penelope Leach's book (the anti-Gina) and I think: great! That's unexpected! Just to find the review a p**s take of responsive parenting. It made me feel very sad, even if people are told the truth they would rather go through the pain of baby training, for what? A glass of wine with the husband at the end of the day? We have that same glass of wine and baby is free to join us with his milk if he wants to. He adds to our evening instead of being seen as a nuisance.
