Comments on: A Totally Cockeyed Thing To Do http://news.abasiccurriculum.com/archives/224 Tagline Free Thu, 17 May 2012 22:54:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Tammy http://news.abasiccurriculum.com/archives/224#comment-6082 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 14:26:36 +0000 http://news.abasiccurriculum.com/archives/224#comment-6082 Nina, thanks for the comment. When I first started homeschooling, I acted on way more unthoughtful advice than I should have. I know that's a weird way to put it, but sometimes people (which would have to include me) give advice without really thinking and the uninitiated (me, in the early years of homeschooling) can take it in deeply. I'm glad you're ahead of the game with building your own lists. I wish I had been as wise early on, but I guess we survived. :-) Live and learn. Nina, thanks for the comment.

I totally agree with you and wish I could have articulated it better in my post. I don't get those lists. I am trying to create my own list using my daughters response as a guide so it will take some time. There are so many books on that list that I don't like and I also agree about Where the Wild Things Are. I have no plans to read it to my kids. You really hit the nail on the head.
