One of the consistent parts of his program is that he will bring people on to interview.

My family and I are not technically unschoolers. I'm very attracted to the word and what it means, and we do "unschool" in some ways, but we still prefer to use some Waldorf curriculum in our life. That works for us. Different methods work for different... 10 Reasons to Unschool

I recently watched the Colbert Report, a satirical program. It is styled as a talk show, with the host pretending to be a heavy handed, superstitious, elitist right wing republican in order to make fun of that demographic. He also opportunistically satirizes just about anyone else who makes illogical mistakes in the political world.One of the consistent parts of his program is that he will bring people on to interview.

Lately, there has been a surge of questions, comments, and in many cases, diatribes against unschooling. Most of these have been spawned from two very brief, very biased (in many peoples' opinions), news-oriented television programs--not from actual research completed on unschooling itself. In response to so much misunderstanding and heated--even hateful, in many cases--commentary, I decided to write out my own defense of unschooling.My family and I are not technically unschoolers.

There are so many different philosophies of education in the world to choose from. It's a rich, diverse world, so it's only natural that there are so many different ways to learn and grow. It's a shame, however, that most of these paths toward learning are concealed from the majority of people. If asked what education means, most people cite the public school method; and though others might also toss in private or homeschooling, there are still so many variations out there that go unnoticed, or even unheard of.If made aware of all of the different options available to them, I believe that many parents would not choose to send their children into public schools as they are currently...

Two weeks ago I received an exciting call from Juan Carlos Pineiro Escoriaza, a talented film-maker who directed, shot, and edited IDEA's launch-time video, "Make Your Voice Heard." He had just got word that our video was selected by the Lights. Camera. Help. Film Festival as one of 33 films to be shown during the festival out of 235 that were submitted! Here's a bit about the festival from their website:"Lights. Camera. Help. The Nonprofit Film Festival is the world's first film festival dedicated entirely to nonprofit and cause-driven films. This 3-day event gives films-for-a-cause the attention they deserve by putting them up on the big screen in a theater setting."

One of my classes for this semester is "Writing for Media." In this class I will get to snack on the practice of and theory surrounding media writing. The professor has put the entire class on the internet. The class is even held in the Mac Lab in the school library. Our writing assignments will be done on blog posts in the school's online education companion, epsilen.com. Also part of the course, I have created a twitter.com account, which is supposed to be used to follow and tweet about media happenings.As a person who can be painfully addicted to the internet, I have a serious problem with this class.

For my "Writing for Media" course, I need to follow a "beat." Unlike general news reporting, doing a news-beat involves continuously covering a specific topic. That means an in-depth understanding is required. One beat is the minimum for my class, although I thought of two issues. The first I thought to do is coverage of my school's organic farm. I attend meetings every week where important announcements are made, and I do farm chores five times a week. I think that the farm (and its connection to the school's food system and the local community) is a topic narrow enough for me to do small (unpublished) news stories.
