Next Shelf

Next to the computer desk is a wall/bookcase my husband made when the books threatened to over-run the house. It has four shelves and the top one holds my homeschooling books. They show my evolution as a homeschooling mom. The oldest are the John Holt books-What Do I Do Monday? and (wow, I only have one actual John Holt book! I expected three at least!) books by his disciple Nancy Wallace--Better Than School (a classic!) and Child's Work.and a few others of the unschool type. John Taylor Gatto is here as are the Colfaxs. Next are the Charlotte Mason type books (not her actual books, for those you have to wait for shelf #3) For the Children's Sake, Charlotte Mason Companion, A Pocketful of Pinecones. There are books by and about Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner and Waldorf schools, Classical education, Catholic education, books about books like Cay Gibson's Literature Alive, Thomas Jefferson education, Real Learning, education by osmosis (okay, I made that up) but all in all a ridiculous amount of books about "school".
