Thanks for the mention, too. I'm not sure about the "queen" title, though.

There actually ARE good teachers in schools! Anyway, on to the point. -- unit studies. You've done a wonderful job describing them. I sort of see unit studies as going off on tangents. We do this when we read a good book. One thing leads us to another, which leads to another. Before you know it, we've changed our entire week's plan so that we can delve into these questions. I look forward to your next installment. What a tribute to Mrs. Campbell! There actually ARE good teachers in schools!
