SCHOLA: A Few More Reasons:

A Few More Reasons:

1) All I've ever heard from the folks at Dell and IBM, "It's not a hardware problem, it's a software problem." And from the people at Microsoft, "It's not a software problem..." Now a satisfactory resolution is just one call away (and I probably won't need any help to begin with.)

2) Apple notified me last week that they were beginning to ship the new Mac Book Pros but were a little swamped, and so to make up for the potential delay they upped my processor from a 1.83 GHz to a 2.0 at no charge.

3) Apple notified me last night that it's on its way, one day earlier than originally expected.

SCHOLA 101

schol' a: 1) An intermission of work, leisure for learning, learned conversation, debate, disputation, lecture, dissertation. 2) A meeting place for teachers and pupils, place for instruction, place of learning, school. 3) The disciples of a teacher, body of followers, school, sect. 4) An acronym for my tortuous blog title "Secular Classical Homeschoolers' Odyssean Learning Adventure." 5) How my Boston cousins pronounce "scholar." 6) Someone who studies at 10 o'clock for a dilla or a dolla.

These are the blatherings of an introverted, autodidactic, champion of The Enlightenment raising three daughters. At one time or another we have homeschooled, public-schooled, Catholic-schooled, cyber-schooled, unschooled, and even threatened boarding school. We have been inspired variously by The Well-Trained Mind, A Thomas Jefferson Education, and Climbing Parnassus, tempered by the writings and wisdom of Charlotte Mason, John Holt, Benjamin Franklin and Michel de Montaigne.

I try not to get wrapped up in labels, but we are secular and we are classical-ish.

We travel. A lot. Sometimes to the other side of the state and sometimes to the other side of the planet. Join us on our journey as we search for our home, navigate the waters of self-education, lounge with the lotus-eaters, and bash a Cyclops or two.
