And that is one thing I love about unschooling. One thing leading to another is great. It might look like we lack focus to some, but there is a lot more to it than that. Sometimes we are led to reflect on a seemingly unrelated thing only to bounce off to something else. Often, that is because that thing only needed a momentary inspection. Sometimes it’s just a bridge to something that will hold us for longer. It’s amazing how often one of the girls remind me of something they remember from a brief conversation or something we spotted on a walk. And it must have been interesting and satisfying, because they sure did stick it into their memory! Recently I was reading my friend Lesa’s blog and she posted about children and different movie ratings. Did parents follow the rating guidelines or not, or only situationally. I read some of the comments to my daughters and we talked about it, it’s been a good conversation and it’s moved on to books. Madeline has recently started to read fiction written for adults. I just started to read the #1 Ladies Detective Agency and I am deciding if she should read it. I think it’s fine but I haven’t read very much of it. Any thoughts? Sharon

Comment by jaci May 18, 2006 @ 2:05 pmI did! My dad has more in the series but forgets to send them to me.
I can’t remember anything bad in it, but it’s been awhile.
Jaci from ccu!
that was a good discussion… wasn’t it? I really got alot out of it and even since I’ve last posted on the comments of that post… I’ve been contemplating even letting the V-chip be turned off for R-rated movies… I’m still mulling that one about in my head.
I don’t know about books… to some they have more value as artistic expression… but like many of the RUers who commented on the v-chip issue on my blog, I’d just be open for discussion on issues that may arise in the book.
