Rethinking Education Conference

Well, in a few short weeks (actually 11 days) Shareen and I will be flying to Dallas/Fort Worth, TX to attend our very first (and hopefully not the last) unschooling conference. I am very excited about just getting away for a few days and meeting some new, like-minded friends. I think Shareen is going to have a blast... they have all kinds of stuff for the kids to do. Shareen, however, is very excited about flying in an airplane (this will be her first time). The other day she said "Momma, I know we are suppose to be very excited about Jesus coming back and that it's a good thing, but... I really hope He doesn't come back before I get to ride on that plane!" Boy did I crack up! Of course, I reassured her that if Jesus did happen to come back before then, I had a feeling we wouldn't care... that flying up to heaven would be MUCH better than just flying to DFW! Haaa, that girl of mine makes me laugh...

 

My friends Crissy and Kim and I had a great talk about unschooling at her house Friday night. I'm glad Crissy and Kim are my friends. I feel like they understand me and even if they really don't they still try to understand or sympathize or empathize or whatever the case may be. We just talked about the types of unschooling, because just like homeschooling, there are different kinds of unschooling. There is what I like to call no-curriculum homeschooling to radical unschooling and everything in between. Anyway, I hope we get a lot out of the RE Conference. I know there will be things that won't apply to us (such as How to Meditate) but I think there will be lots to soak up and explore and have fun with! If anyone is interested in looking at the RE website it is www.rethinkingeducation.com. Hopefully I can bring back some great pics and info to post!

I am going to have to look into this for the future. I don't know why I never heard of this. I am in with the L&L conference crowd but that is getting moved to the east coast for good I think. Too far for me to go every year. The L&L conference is going on right now in New Mexico. I couldn't go this year because we just got back from our 6 month RV trip, wa! wa!
