Clips we've watched lately

This video clip was shown at a home school conference I went to today. "Conference" is perhaps an overstatement. About 30 parents met at a church to hear Debra Bell talk about inspiring kids to love learning and to be independent learners. I have been despairing about my effectiveness as a home schooling mother lately, and actually had an interview yesterday to teach middle school English at the most expensive private school on the island (which would get my kids deeply discounted tuition). But Debra Bell was inspiring, as was this Sir Ken Robinson video.  Much to discern in the next month or so.

Onto another issue: I admit to being behind the times here, and I'm having a hard time getting excited by the candidates, but I was happy to see Notre Dame support the lawsuit against the HHS mandate. George Weigel makes some good points here. And this ad was kind of fun, although melodramatic. Made me miss Williamsburg.
