Part of the interview is with a school-at-home family, and it's not very long, but it happened and I'm announcing it!

Times of India (Marathi supplement)

Hema Bharadwaj, from Pune, in India, has sent a note and link to an article (in Marathi) new this week:


A few of us from our Pune Homeschoolers group were interviewed recently. The journalist Karuna did a good spread about Homeschooling and Unschooling. She interviewed me for over 2 hours and has written candidly and clearly. I was nervous about being misrepresented and quoted out of context... as has happened in the past (a few months ago). But Urmila assured me that this journalist came across differently. And after reading the article i can see that she was right.

Its for a Marathi supplement paper that is part of the Times of India Group. I will get a translation from a friend within a few days and post that link back here.

. . . .

Then you click "next" at the end of the article twice to get to the 3rd page.... where our individual interviews are.

the original link no longer worked; these should:
