Family Traditions: Why baking cookies, snowy walks, and read-alouds matter

December 20, 2022 by Ruth

Christmas time is when most families follow some type of tradition. However, 'traditions' are increasingly viewed with skepticism by the mainstream media.

Yet … [Read more...] about Family Traditions: Why baking cookies, snowy walks, and read-alouds matter

Rethinking School – Susan Wise Bauer – Part I

Weapons of Mass Instruction – Part 1

November 8, 2022 by Ruth

“Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your roadmap through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should … [Read more...] about Weapons of Mass Instruction – Part 1
