I love hearing from anyone who visits. Thursday, November 7, 2013. Today I thought I would share a piece I did recently and just loved. In fact if I had a smaller family I would have been tempted to keep it. It started out when I picked up 6 chairs at a local op shop for $40. I decided to find a table to match them. I tried kee...

The Anti-Rat: Why i’m happy to tell my kids that school is a totally inferior way to get an education
http://theantirat.blogspot.com/2014/01/why-im-happy-to-tell-my-kids-that.html
Gardening, home educating, crafting, scavenging, eating.living. Thursday, January 23, 2014. Why i’m happy to tell my kids that school is a totally inferior way to get an education. So why not with school? I think school is a terrible way to get an education, is more likely to result in abnormal behaviour than well-adjusted socialisation, is a violation of freedom and personal rights, and is all around fairly abysmal. So why can’t I share those (well-founded) views with my children? Why don’t people...

The Anti-Rat: August 2013
http://theantirat.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Gardening, home educating, crafting, scavenging, eating.living. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. That your child is doing exactly what they need to do, right now, even if you don’t understand why (even if it’s killing related, completely clashes with your beliefs or involves 14 hours a day on the computer). That when you get in touch with yourself, and your true way of being, you would understand, that you would be free! Then the world will be a better place, populated with ‘free’ people.

http://theantirat.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Gardening, home educating, crafting, scavenging, eating.living. Monday, September 24, 2012. Finding out your child doesn’t fit ‘normal’. But then there’s never been any doom and gloom. Upon counting fingers and toes at birth and satisfying myself that the gas hadn’t screwed my sight up any more than it is naturally, we shrugged it off. There’s video of us fanning out his hands, an hour or so after birth, exclaiming, ‘Aren’t they COOL! Kill off those differences! Links to this post. Home ed-as it is now.

http://theantirat.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Gardening, home educating, crafting, scavenging, eating.living. Sunday, May 18, 2014. My year of goats. 160; I sold my goats. Yes, I loved my goats, but the fact was that the husband really didn’t. At all. And they were noisy, and destructive, and not really the animal to have in rental with cattle fencing that they can get through in a second. Practicality won out, but I miss them and their antics. Cows are OK, but goats are my thing. 160; So, a year in a nutshells? 160; Now we were at three goats, with...

The Anti-Rat: January 2013
http://theantirat.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Gardening, home educating, crafting, scavenging, eating.living. Wednesday, January 30, 2013. As we have our house for sale, and are maintaining the excessive neatness required by that, i’m reminded of just how messy this unschooling life is. Consider our last house here-four hours earlier, this room was spotless. Or our dining table, regularly needing to be shovelled off so we can eat. The radical unschooling solution? After finishing my laughing fit and picking myself up from the floor, I started musing...
