Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

I’ve spent a few hours today working on my thirteen year old’s homeschool high school planning.   I’m tired!   Dani graduated six years ago, which means it’s been about ten years since I have had to plan out a complete high school course of study.  I’ve downloaded several documents to use as guidelines, including the admission requirements…
