"A" to me sums up unschooling...

Last night I created this blog and my first post was definitions of all the words in the title of my blog.

What amazed me at the time and again this morning, excuse me, now... it is afternoon, is that the smallest word _A_ has the most meanings. Everything from physiology, chemistry, biochemistry to size, ratings, music, gradings spoken sounds, letters and as an idiom to know nothing.

As unschoolers, our curriclum is life, which is everything out there in the world around us, just waiting for our exploration of it.

And standing in nothing is the greatest place to stand, because in nothing anything and everything can be created!
