r4all down

Seems Radio4all.net was down yesterday morning when CFMU was trying to download our latest show, so any Hamilton area listeners would not have heard the new show, nor anyone trying to access the show from the web site. It seems that the site was back on line later in the day, and downloading will have resumed.
This is not something that is in our (i.e. radio free school's) control, and it happens occasionally - but not frequently - at radio4all.
It is an amazing service for a show like ours to have the portal of radio4all there to upload our shows to the web, so please support them if you can.

the show must go on: getting your homeschooler to the ivory tower

"It is improper for older people to keep saying...that activity of the young is 'counterproductive.' It is our business to do something more productive that they can join if they want to."

"Definitions pin things down, they limit the prospects for creativity and diversity. A definition, implicitly attempts to reduce all possible variations of a concept to a single pithy phrase."

Ian Stewart, Letters to a Young Mathematician

Small Pressure

Sell sell sell. Three zine-makers with an array of zine material at the Radio Free School table at the Toronto Small Press Fair (Nov. 10) - At our table Kitty Corner proved the top seller, followed by Curdled Way, then World Wide Zine (France issue) and Poems.
We had a lovely time and our friendly neighbour Drew Simmie was a pleasure to hang out with, the un-schoolers making great use of his fine fountain pen to sign autographs!

Small Time Toronto

Any Radio Free School listeners in the Toronto area are welcome to come and visit some of the rfs team on Saturday at the Toronto Small Press Book Fair.

The kids will have their respective zines for sale: Curdled Way, Poems, and the ever popular Kitty Corner.

The event unfolds at Trinity St. Paul's Centre, 427 Bloor St W, Toronto from 11am-5pm on Saturday, November 10.

The Nature of Unschooling

A film featuring some radio free school regulars is heading to India to be included in The 'Re-membering Nai Taleem: Real Learning for the 21st Century' Film Festival.

After posting our video on YouTube, we were contacted by manish of Shikshantar - The Peoples' Institute for Rethinking Education and Development who then invited us to send a copy to them for the festival, to be screened this summer.

What's exciting - besides being asked to contribute a short video - is to discover the great work they are doing on subjects close to our hearts.

citizen kay

An unschooling dossier is being built over at citizenshift on a beta site, a web-based project of the national film board of canada.

radio free school is contributing material to the project, including Bronwyn's sideline project, Kitty Corner zine.

We'll be updating you once the entire project is stitched together.
