Homeschool High School -- Hormones!

We're talking about old-fashioned, traditional male female relationships a lot this month.

Many different kinds of old-fashioned out there. Right now the three thousand year old love stories and Nicholas' female friends' experiences as of this moment have a lot in common.

Nina Paley's work on the Ramayana -- talk about a rich lode of material for boys and girls on the edge of adulthood!

Here's Nina, and why she chose this material:

Here's some of the animation, as it progresses:

These take a long time to load, but IOHO it's very worth it. These look like Fractured Fairy Tales, the music is amazing, and the storyline is powerful.

Homeschool High School unschooling looks like this, following interests. In case anyone wonders what kids do all day once they are adult size, this is it -- my brother Tassh and all the kids in between ended up with their own focused interests, all different, all layered.
