Janine and I typically attend one homeschooling conference each year. We don't follow the homeschooling conference world very closely. Susan Wise Bauer was the top speaker at one of the first conferences we attended. She gave a wonderful seminar and we still have the cassette tape recordings of her presentation.
Home-schooling pioneer Susan Wise Bauer is well-versed in controversy reveals that Susan has gotten grief and decided to stop speaking at homeschooling conventions. It is too bad. I have a lot of respect for Susan. Her book The Well Trained Mind was one of the first homeschooling books we read.
If you haven't read her typical days, check out: 1998, 1999,2000, and 2004.
I wish her well in her future endeavors.
