My son started doing the Suzuki style violin program when he was five years old at the Crowden School Of Music in Berkeley, CA. He did two classes a week, one group lesson and one individual lesson.
We took a break for about a year and a half. I found a great teacher this past summer and now we are taking violin and piano. We are reviewing book one Again.

What is worldschooling?
“Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves.” Euripides
I homeschooled my son for 5 years. He is now back in school. It is most homeschooler parents dream to do worldschooling.
What is worldschooling? Worldschooling is the combination of education and travel. There are many ways to be a world schooler and every family that chooses to worldschool will find their own approach. What worldschoolers do have in common is their unique mindset in regards to life and education.

Movie Review- Captain Fantastic
In Captain Fantastic, Ben Cash, (Viggip Mortensen) raises his six kids in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Cash has created an exacting and exhilarating curriculum that aims to not simply educate them, but to teach them to become virtuous and open minded citizens of the world.
Citizens Of The World is a book that captured the spirit of independent thinking that led Ben Cash to want to want to homeschool his family.
A recommended book inspired by the movie is James W. Loewem’s 1996 Lies My Teacher Told Me : Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong.

Movie recommendation: Stand and Deliver (1988)
This is a phenomenal movie for teachers this time of year! September always reminds me of newly sharpened pencils and fresh roasted coffee in those early September cool mornings! My favorite quote from Stand And Deliver are the following:
“I’m going to teach you algebra because I’m a champion.” (I love the confidence!)
