Unusal read for me

A few weeks ago I was working one evening in my hotel room and PBS was on the TV. I found myself pulled into an interview of a young woman who spoke of a most unconventional upbringing.

The mater of fact manner in which she spoke pulled me away from my work and I turned my full attention to the interview.

I was so drawn to her story that when the interview was over and before I went back to work I had ordered the book.

Last weekend I read the book. Oddly, some of the characters here made the book more believable.

For reasons I am not going to get into here, the book has had a profound impact on me.

Make your own decision about reading it. For those both curious and open minded, I think you will find it well written and moving.

I love her so far, every part of her. Her views, opinions, especially on education, as far as I'm concerned she has it nailed. You bet i'll read it

I think I've read half her book already, she has saturated the web or should I say people have saturated the web with her beliefs on education for one and for the fact that she says she over all had a good childhood. "Why that can't be!!!""Don't you think you were brain washed?" and so on. Thanks Dave no budget for a book right now but I'll come across it. Very intriguing woman, her scolding her baby sitter (for lack of a better word) from Cambridge was magnificent. And then him admitting that in that short time he had actually changed his mine on a lot on what our education system does to our kids.
