Glad to have you hear. Thanks for making yourself known. I look forward to your contributions!

I’m a former Sudbury parent and am now a co-founder of a start-up school here in Toronto. I’m only a ‘former’ parent in that my child’s Sudbury school closed so we’ve had to look elsewhere for options.

Keep up your interesting posts, and I’ll even try to respond once in a while!

My “zone” seems to keep me tuned into my work (very important), poker (not so much), and anyone or thing who grabs my attention along the way of a seemingly one-way street. I’m pretty good at being bad about staying connected with family and friends unless they meet me more than half way. (Sad, but just being honest.) So now I have your blog on my desktop where it should grab me more often. Thanks for sharing. I’ll try to share back once in a while.

Who dat?

I have a new recipe for kingcake I wanna try out. Geaux, Saints!

I will take a look at John Rosemond’s stuff. Thanks for the topic idea; I’ve put it on my list of article ideas.

I remember you asked about how the Sudbury approach teaches self-discipline. I hadn’t yet responded further. I’m planning to write more articles about Sudbury schooling in the near future. I’m currently working on one called “Our journey to Sudbury schooling” which should be published by the end of next week. (I’m also going to add categories to the blog articles to make them easier to navigate & filter through.)

Thanks for continuing to read!

Also, it just occurred to me to ask your opinion of John Rosemond and his philosophy on parenting. If you aren’t familiar with him, just Google his name.

Thanks,

I read here for several reasons. You’re a dad and there are very few dads who blog about education; I only do it very infrequently on my blog, despite the fact that it’s a subject which interests me greatly. You’re knowledgeable and write honestly. Even if I disagree with someone, I appreciate their honest, thoughtful writing which gives me something to consider. In contrast, even if I agree with someone in theory, I dislike reading their work if it’s illogical or nonsensical. Then, of course, there’s always plain, old basic curiosity about how other people comceptualize the world around us and their place in it.

I enjoy looking through your lenz. (wink)
