Made it to a cafe with hubby for “us” time
A friend recovering from surgery asked me to pick up some audiobooks from the library - my choice! I have read Educated and the Doerr (no idea if she has) - does anyone want to chime in support for the other two? I have Born a Crime on hold - which is my favorite audio of all time that I recommend. Photo to help me remember! (Otherwise, slim pickings.
“I don‘t want you to be safe ideologically. I don‘t want you to be safe emotionally. I want you to be strong. That‘s different. I‘m not going to pave the jungle for you. Put on some boots, and learn how to deal with adversity. I‘m not going to take all the weights out of the gym; that‘s the whole point of the gym. This is the gym.” - Van Jones
pickReally enjoyed this book about homeschooling💚

pickA seminal & important work. So important I had to check it out from the library to read & listen to it simultaneously after having already listened to it once. I‘ve gone & purchased a hard copy too.
I‘m not looking for a gold star; I‘m looking to mine all the gold I can from Freire because American‘s are under exigent circumstances.
This is not a test! Education is under attack. The oppressive regime is here. Read. Educate yourself. Prepare.
pickReally interesting book about learning techniques that seem counterintuitive like mixing up topics and taking a lot of breaks. I found out some of these when I read Make It Stick, a while back. Worthwhile!
Going to take a break this summer. I know it means I‘ll have to double up on work in the fall, but I feel like if I don‘t do it this way, I‘ll just quit altogether.
So, lots of reading, lots of writing, lots of planting, lots of crochet and cross-stitch. And, maybe, I‘ll finally decide on a sewing machine and finally learn how to make Kirby pjs for my son who has outgrown children‘s clothing.

pickI did a lot of nodding and “yep”ing as I listened to this one, about how a subset of American society has turned against the knowledge of experts (and no doubt it‘s happening elsewhere, too). He doesn‘t offer solutions, which is of course frustrating, but then the first step to problem solving is acknowledging the problem. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, @Riveted_Reader_Melissa !
