I want to share some things I have found.

July 26, 2007

First I will share a link to an article on The Onion which is quiet amusing but also speaks a lot of truth through satire.
Adults Have Misclassified Me As A Handful

Clearly, a mistake has been made. For whatever reason, I have been singled out and wrongly characterized by the adult world as a “real handful.” In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

The next thing I want to share is a video that is in a lot of ways not related to the subjects of this blog but which I found really interesting. I found this video by following a link from Just Folks which is a blog I read pretty often but don’t really comment on much. I also want to sow off a bit here because today I learned how to go about embedding a video on wordpress without any fancy plugins! This is an episode of The Pinky Show and like I said before it does not have much to do with parenting or pregnancy but this is about the country I live in and this is something that will effect my child and affects me and i feel it is important to share it.
The Pinky Show : The Iraq War: Legal or Illegal?

And I want to share one more episode of The Pinky Show

We Have To Call It School and Toys From Trash and More

July 6, 2007

I have been into toy making lately. I think it is because I recently purchased some hand made wooden toys. I have also been reading more about unschooling. The following are web pages I have found fascinating and a link to a documentary.

Folding School is a web page with directions for making cardboard furniture for children. I think it would be to hard for a child to make alone but i bet a child would love to decorate it paining it drawing on it covering with stickers.

Toys From Trash is an amazing web page with all sorts of inspirational ideas about simple and complex toys and science projects people can create I especially love this one. The home page for the whole site is also interesting.

I don’t know if this “school” is still around but it reminds me some of the high school I went to. My high school was a lot more structured. This is a 1978 documentary called We Have To Call It School and it is about a free school in Copenhagen.
