Did I say something in the book that really irked you? Better yet, was there some topic touched upon that you want to delve into further? Perhaps there was a story in the news that would be of interest to our online community. Please share your thoughts here.

    I have read a number of comments referring to “pulling back from further education” or “having a PhD and choosing to stay home” or something to that effect. Somewhere in the midst of those choices lies the all important motivation for education. I simply want to vote for a well educated citizenry. It is not uncommon to meet a relatively uneducated, but highly trained PhD as well as a relatively untrained, but highly educated high school graduate. (more of the former, fewer of the latter) T. Jefferson’s view of the man who “farms by day and reads Homer in the original Greek by night.” describes the values that under-gird an effective citizen. Let’s promote readers of Homer with calluses. Our system of education “prepares workers for the workforce”. This effort begins in grade school and the self perception of an individual’s life as primarily filling a spot in the economic engine is well inculcated by a young age. To support the Radical Homemakers of the future, we need to be actively engaged in our local schools calling on them to educate citizens for good living instead of “consumers” who “make a good living” I’m grateful for the values that are represented on this site. It is hopeful. Thank you for your work.
