Wow, you were quick! Well, your MW is set up, but I will be shocked if you manage this in only 12 sections. Lucky for you, you can add sections as needed! If you decide while you're setting up that you do want a section 0 after all, just let me know and I can make that happen.

Yes, I'll figure it out as I look at the structure of the text. Could you give me a section 0 after all? Thanks!

Welcome to Librivox, Cooper!
It would be great to have you record section 1 for this project (Home Education). It looks like you've just passed your 1 minute test recording which means you are ready to go. Don't forget in all future recordings to make any changes that were suggested when you did the test recording (eg: if you needed to amplify, you'll need to do that for every section you submit).

In order to assign a section to you in the Magic Window (MW) of this project, I've entered you into the database of readers. Your reader page is accessible here and a list of your assigned sections is here (you might want to bookmark it). LV readers appear under both their forum username and their 'display name' - at the moment both are your forum username. Here's an example of what it would look like if you choose something different. Some people use their real name, a pseudonym or just a repeat of their forum username. You might prefer privacy or to use it as an opportunity to advertise yourself as a narrator. You can change your display name by posting a thread in this forum and an admin will help you out. Your claim is confirmed - you have two months to submit it. Looking forward to hearing your section and have you help out with this project!

Wonderful! I'll move us to Readers Wanted. I'll also read for section 2, please!

[CrystalLaws]

I would like to record Section 3, The Good and Evil Nature of a Child, please.

I would love to record section four, "Authority and Docility"! I am reading the corresponding chapters in CM's volume on School Education, so it would be fun to double dip.

I saw your comment to another new reader about the 1 minute test. My equipment is in the mail, and I hope to have it up and running in the next couple of days. I've been wanting to volunteer for Librivox for several years now, and am making it my summer project this year! I can check back in for an assignment when I'm operational if you'd rather, but was excited to see this chapter was available and was hoping to snag it.

Hi shuttlenread, it would be great to have you in this project. I tend to prefer a 1 minute test before I assign a section because... people disappear (I'm sure you won't!). I'm willing to reserve it for a week for you in the meantime.

I completely understand. I imagine disappearing is a thing. Tracking says my package should arrive Wednesday, so I should have my test finished by the weekend at the latest. Thanks for considering me!

I would like to request to read chapters four and five please.
