[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good guess, LOL!  Very close.

I, too, worry about happiness and, actually, about education -- in the sense of turning our kids onto the delights of reading, thinking, problem-solving, empathizing, figuring things out...

Not so much an issue (for the kids, at least) at the elementary school level -- though the instrumentalist of many parents is already apparent at that stage.  But by HS, even (maybe especially) the kids who love to read and think are under tremendous pressure to just power through crushing workloads with no time to really reflect on what they're learning, much less to pursue interesting tangents.  [b]My own childhood and adolescence was filled with such opportunities and when I arrived at college I was like a kid in a candy store.   [/b]

But had my HS education looked like the Big 3 experience today, I'd have been burnt out and/or needed a gap year [/quote]

Please PP, tell me how I can give this to my kid.  Go off the grid entirely?[/quote]
