Unschooling

I taught for many years. I know and love many teachers. But traditional education isn’t always a good fit, so I am a huge fan of alternative learning. Especially publicly funded programs like SAGE and SAGE QUEST in Hamilton, which my kids attended.

Our family also had a period of unschooling (life learning), wherein the boys learned at home in a child-led, organic way. I wrote several articles about our experiences, and we were featured in a TVO segment on unschooling.

Thank god for Funny

Two years ago, I was all set to begin writing a rather solemn novel which required a lot of work and a deep dive, emotionally. Along came Covid and I thought, “A pandemic is a lot of work and a deep dive, emotionally.”

And then I thought, “Maybe what the world needs right now (besides Love, Sweet Love) is something easy to read. Lighthearted and fun.”

And so I began to compile a collection of humourous – to me, anyway! – one or two page anecdotes.

Here are a couple of tidbits from Thank god for Funny, which I hope to publish soon.

PEPPER!
