SCHOLA: I'm here, I'm there...

I'm here, I'm there...

Kathy Jo was wondering whether I'll be posting here and there.

Definitely, though maybe not as frequently (you know how sporadic the posts here have been lately with only one blog to manage.) I will keep this one to focus more on the mobile homeschooling and maybe some of my nastier bits since most people I know who don't homeschool wouldn't know what the heck I was talking about anyway and some of the kids' friends are reading and I must keep it G rated. I'm sure there will be some crossover as it's hard to separate one entirely from the other.

Thanks for your comments!

Cheers!

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.
