Kim: twitter: http://twitter.com/kim_mcneill e-mail: turnermcneill -at- yahoo -dot- com Homeschooling mom to one girl with another in public school and a toddler. I'm particularly interested in science and math in education. I also blog about general interest issues to parents, kid's books and activities, and issues of freedom from the perspective of rights. If you use the Amazon search box or buy something on Amazon through a link, I could get a percentage commission. It's nice but I, unfortunately, don't know who made the purchase, so thanks in advance if you do!
