		<description><![CDATA[Editors, of course, pay a lot of attention to words, though some eurekas take longer to develop than they should. Reading to my youngest from The Story of Science again tonight, I realized that &#8220;matter&#8221; &#8211; the basic structural component of the universe &#8211; has its roots in the Latin word &#8220;materia,&#8221; which is derived [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Milton Gaither has an interesting paragraph in his review of Greg and Martine Millman&#8217;s book:
Historians and organization theorists will be very interested in the Millmansâ€™ chapter on Homeschool Groups. It begins by connecting homeschooling to the â€œemergenceâ€ scholarship of John H.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the more delightful finds during this end of summer &#8220;not-back-to-school&#8221; period is this sharp, smart rewriting of a pop song into an anthem for new homeschoolers:
I Will Survive (the first year of homeschooling)*
I kidded Natalie that she&#8217;s homeschooling&#8217;s answer to Weird Al.

		<description><![CDATA[Our long-time friend Jan Hunt, whose interview (by Mary Nix) appeared in our July/August issue, wrote recently to tell me they&#8217;ve added more bumper stickers to their selection, including these:
â€¢ Ask me about unschooling!
â€¢ If it matters to a child, it&#8217;s important!
â€¢ Life is the school &#8211; love is the lesson.
â€¢ Teaching interferes with learning. [...]]]></description>
