Where a child is truly free.......

How I wish there were more schools like this!.......I know that this kind of freedom works wonders.....it has for my son....and as a mother, you know and can feel the changes that have happened that are sometimes so subtle.......and not tangible to talk about or share with another.....but you know and feel the difference....when a child is given that freedom to be in control....he starts opening up and flowering.....and starts being responsible......when you learn to trust him and give him this choice, he learns to trust you too.....when you learn to truly respect his needs and wait a bit till he figures it out, he learns to respect you and your needs too....

And I believe that only when you are free do you truly learn!

Bring on the revolution - a must-see video!

I just love this man and the way he puts
things across with his subtle sense of humour......"human communities
depend upon diversity of talents......not a singular conception of
ability......education doesn't feed people's passions and spirit....a 3
year old is not half a 6 year old!...".....and many more wonderful comments and thoughts.......hey friends do make time to see this video!
