The Classroom is Only a Baseline

This is the 200th post at Writer Dad.

In lieu of balloons or red roses, rainbows or high fives, I’d like to make an announcement.

This is the post I was originally going to run on Monday, before I decided to run Cindy’s birthday card instead. Thank you so much to everyone who sent her such wonderful birthday wishes. We read all your comments and emails out loud together. It is truly touching how magical words can be, even when only in black and white across a brightly lit screen.

As you know, Cindy and I have been gradually piecing our primary project together – a writer’s workshop aimed squarely at the budding future of our civilization. An essential component of our overall framework is Cindy’s online voice. Some of you already know her from her first online home, Namas Daisy, but this is not about that site.

Namas Daisy was started back in October, and has since then been a bit like a toy batted about the kitchen floor by the playful paws of a pet tabby. The site was started as a means for Cindy to dip her toe into an unfamiliar world so she could slowly saturate herself with the sights and sounds of our inevitable future. Today we are parting the curtains on a brand new site. This one’s all business.

CindyPlatt.com is Cindy’s brand new classroom. Cindy is seasoned with over twenty years of experience. Some of those years have been spent in the classroom, some at a furious clip pacing the hallways of change, and the remainder spent molding the young minds ripest for reaching.

Never in my life have I known a single soul with more to say about the current state of education and the teetering lip where it lays against our future. She has plenty to say for all parents and teachers, but her focus (at least for now) is on home schooling parents and those families who feel as though lessons learned in the classroom are merely a baseline.

Today I’ll hold brevity close, as I would like you to check out CindyPlatt.com. It is striking because it was designed by my partner David Wright, and beautiful blogs are the only kind we build over at the Inkwell. But it’s imbued with intelligence because of the well worn wisdom of my one and only wife.

Thanks!
