I have finally made my way through all of the “speakers’ and I clicked into each vendor. I’m glad my boss is out of town and wasn’t here to catch me slacking at work so that I could do this. I think the online convention was a terrific idea and even though the majority of “speakers” were totally opposite of me, my familly and our homeschool life they were all worth clicking into and they all gave me a few things to think about.
Michelle was sitting at her desk behind me as I flipped through each blog and I distracted her from her Biology exam on more than one occasion to comment out loud to her about something I read. I clipped a few of the “speakers” to send to her because I think she might find them interesting – the teens who contributed, the latin lessons because she waivers back and forth between liking the idea and not liking the idea, the “reading to our kids” piece because it’s the one I liked the most and a couple that were so far right that she simply has to see them because, well, because it’s good to hear that sort of point of view every now and then.
