“Imagine what might happen to Leonardo da Vinci today if he were placed in the average American public school, or (perish the thought) a research university faculty. This illegitimate son of a poor woman, a left-handed writer who loved to draw and challenge conventional thought, would be labeled an at-risk special education candidate or be told he had too many interests, a lack of focus, and off-task predilections.”
- J. Darby, J Catterall – The Teachers College Record, 1994
I came in behind this kid who can't spell
From the O'DonnnellWeb Blog Awards, I was honored with a 1st place award for “Best Unschooling Girl Blog Among the One Blog Entered”.
From Alasandra's blog, "Best Teen Blog"
I cherish this award: I awarded it to myself on behalf of "Consent of the Governed," where I hold the complex title of "incredibly rude," "condescending," "elitist," "unmedicated," "Godwin Police," "troll." I hold this title with pride.
Make no mistake
