  • YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE ME IN A BIKINI

    Filed at 6:33 am under by dcobranchi

    Sarah Poppins has a new website for secular home education, sarcastically-named “The Denim Jumper.” Very sassy. It’s also one of the best-designed home ed sites I’ve seen. From the FAQ:

    Is it true that I have to wear an official “Not a denim jumper” thong to post??

    Nonsense. Many people wear teeny-weeny, itsy-bitsy, yellow polka-dot bikinis.

    Oh. My. Gosh.
    Crawling back onto chair trying not to laugh anymore at the irony.

    I’m, uh, I’m, well, speechless, um, honestly Daryl, you really didn’t know what WTM was?

    I know you are well hitched with HEM – and here’s a confession, I was too until WTM came along and made homeschooling even more cool:) No really, I use far more tricks from HEM and far more retort resources (socialization, learning by living, etc.) than WTM could provide on it’s own. I have loved both camps – unschooling and WTM. That said, I found a fair amount the denim jumper/potato looking earth (not religious) mom thing with a lot of unschoolers too:)

    Come to think of it now, you could really rattle up some support on many issues if you would post on the WTM boards. Pretty please? It’s all making sense to me now why this group is silent on many issues you bring to light.

    Here are some navigational tools:

    and, the WTM sponsored board (once there click message boards, then click general):
    welltr...d.com/

    Come join?

    Thanks for the invitation. I know of “The Well Trained Mind” and their website (HE&OS gets more referrals from there than any other website other than Joanne Jacobs’). It was the WTM that threw me. I googled it right after I posted and had one of those V-8 moments.

    Whew. Breathing a HUGE sigh of relief. I know from comments here that many WTMers follow you – and dare I say after the Evang. post today – “religiously”. Personally, I’d love to hear from you on WTMS and the WTM gen board. Heavy sigh of relief.
