I find myself returning to the homeschooling and unschooling literature, since the Shuttleworth Summit, in part due to the influence of Paul Fernhout, an edu-sig poster. But I've always had an interest in this literature. Laurie Todd, a master teacher, is another influence.
You'll find mention of this demographic (home scholars) in at least two [1][2] of my postings today, both to the Math Forum. Plus Tara is simulating emergent civilization right behind me, having just installed Sig Meier's Civilization IV on TMU (meanwhile, I'm typing on brain-damaged KTU2).
I like the new Python logo by the way: very Azteco-Mayan or whatever.
