angela in ohio Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Who are they? "splain. :D No idea what Sizzle Bop is, but Christopher Perrin is in charge of Classical Academic Press. His talk on "The Lighter Side of Education" in Cinci was truly inspirational, as was "Intellectual Virtues", and his talks on Latin and Logic are very helpful, too. He speaks in favor of intellect, trusting God instead of living in fear, and building relationships with our children as we educate them.

AvasMom Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Who are they? "splain. :D We use Classical Academic Press (CAP) for my kids' Latin curriculum. We've used the DVDs so we all feel like Christopher Perrin (and now Karen Moore for dd) are our other teachers. ;) SizzleBop.com is a website for teaching high energy kids and the website author (Carol something) wrote this book "How to Get Your Child Off the Refrigerator and Turned on to Learning." Both were going to be at the NE conference and I was looking forward to meeting them. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard her speak on ADHD-ish moms (If I'm Diapering the Watermelon, Where'd I Leave the Baby) in Lansing a few years ago, and I alternated between laughing hysterically and crying.

Capt_Uhura Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I spoke with Dr. Kemnitz of RFWP. He is definitely on board with organizing something for the same dates as the Philadelphia conference! He is going to try to get a few other speakers as well!!!! SWB - Please, please can you meet us there? I will drop her a note and beg. I'm not above begging......:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try that too? This is most definitely the time for overkill! (SWB, we :001_wub: you!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Uhura Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm a cheap date since I usually only drink water but I will certainly take a chocolate desert! Believe me, this is purely selfish on my part. :001_smile: You all had the idea, I just posted a thread which seems to have gotten the ball rolling. I will send Pattie an email as well. Dr. Kemnitz will be posting at the RFWP facebook page as well as at the MCTLA forum and I will certainly cross post any information to this thread as well.
