HEM Takes a Closer
Look:History
There
are so many ways that we learn
about history on a daily basis.
The radio, newspaper,
television, Internet, friends,
neighbors and family. Occasionally
we even pick up a history text
book, but most of the history
we enjoy and remember has come
from real life, real places
and from biographies.
My family has always loved
to hear our family’s history.
I recall that my
oldest child interviewed his
grandparents, aunts and uncles
when he was very young. I would
love to have done the same with
my relatives who are now gone.
We treasure the
records he has of how they all
met their spouses, what their
first jobs were and any other
bits of their experiences that
they shared with him.
No matter what history or
herstory that you might be researching,

I’m jealous, too.**
A few weeks ago The Wall Street Journal outed a Babble post by Joanne Rendell, author of The Professors’ Wives’ Club.Â
UnschoolingÂ
Nonetheless, when I used the term “unschooling,” they needed an explanation.
“There’s no good soundbite to describe it,” I said, “just as there’s no good soundbite to describe school. But generally speaking, unschoolers don’t send their kids to regular [...]
