Last week I asked about the scene where Kara (Starbuck) flies into the Pegasus flight deck upside down.

There is a fascinating discussion (at least, I think it is fascinating) on David Friedman’s blog about “unschooling.” This isn’t merely home schooling, rather, it is a completely unstructured environment wherein the child is encouraged to learn what interests him or her.
