That's right! My little sister received her PhED yesterday. 

Congrats, Lynda!  I'm busting proud of you!

I've always tried to deny she is smarter than me, but now she has the papers - and a title - to prove it.   Hey, Sis...I mean, Dr. Sis, when do you expect the movie version of your dissertation will be released?

My 15-Minutes of Fame

Chuck often chides me for spending too much time yakking it up on the Writer's Digest Writer's Forum.  I've tried to quit, honest, but I'm addicted to that place and the people.  If you are a writer or writer wanna-be, you owe it to your career to check it out.  Not only do we have a lot of fun, but you will learn A LOT about writing, publishing, grammar, and why you need to kill your adverbs.

Earlier this week one of the authors started a thread about using real-life people in fiction, which inspired me to parody the Miranda Warning for writers.  Maria Schneider, WD Editor, posted it here

And now, I'm going to bask for a while.

Parade Magazine Homeschool Poll

My friend Sprittibee forwarded the link to Parade Magazine's article "Intelligence Report," where they are polling readers on whether we think a teaching certificate should be required to teach kids at home.

Here's a particularly irksome quote from the article:

If upheld, the California ruling will send shock waves nationwide,” says Richard Kahlenberg, the author of a number of books on education. He says the case “pits those who believe parental rights are paramount against those who place a premium on well-educated citizens.”

I don't know this clown, Kahlenberg, but his spin is dizzying.  So, it's either parental rights or well-educated citizens?  The author of a number of books on education seems to have completely ignored statistics and more statistics showing homeschooled kids ARE the well-educated citizens.

You can read the article and take the poll here.

My answer?  NO, but thanks for asking.
