| Teenage bohemia | N/A | While highlighting certain aspects of these teens' lives might befit the "bohemian" theme of the article, knowing a little more about the interests and activities of the teens presents a far more interesting story. As a long time NYC homeschooling mom, I have met several of the "unschoolers" featured in the article. Though Jess has spent considerable time involved in martial arts, both she and her sister Caroline have also spent numerous hours participating in the courses and other programs at the American Museum of Natural History. The last time I ran into Jess, she spoke enthusiastically about the museum and about how fortunate she was to be studying with the scientist/educators there. She also discussed at length her interest in ornithology. J.T. has also completed several courses at AMNH in the fields of astrophysics, geology, and genetics. Through his independent studies, he has become fluent in algorithmic thought. He speaks articulately of his projects involving "massively parallel graphics processing" and of his desire to work collaboratively with others who share his interests. He is also a gifted classical guitarist. MCC Youth Company, the theater group which Cullen works with, recently completed a limited run of their new play at an Off-Broadway theater. Cullen was one of the head writers of this compelling production. Previously, he served as an athletic youth ambassador to Norway through his involvement with the Road Runners Club. For years Ki (pictured) played regularly in a rock band, which gigged frequently in the NYC area, until its three other members went away to college last August. The group produced its own CD of original songs and has a fervent following. Ki has already been accepted to a west coast college, where he will study architecture. For the record, Calen (pictured) is not homeschooled. He graduated from an upper eastside prep school last year. |
