RE: A typical homeschool lesson, with Bob Dylan
I will have to listen or read the words...
An amazing post as always. I think I told you my daughter begged to be homeschooled. I was not up for the task. My other daughter complained that school kept restricting her learning. I don't know what the answer is. Nuance and complexity is every situation.
Yes indeed @icmultitudes - you said it - nuance and complexity in every situation. Homeschooling is very demanding on parents and probably not for everyone. Also, there's a lot to be said for the social aspect of school. Your daughter seems to have benefited from an excellent music department at her school, which makes me happy to see. The thing that upsets me most is when I see music teachers putting kids off learning music.
That's true! Music school inflicted nothing on me but fear and disgust of playing music, until I took up the guitar at 30 y.o. The teachers could not show how one can enjoy music, because they hadn't succeeded much in it either...
I'm so sorry that you had that experience of music school @olivera-despina and am very glad to hear you've taken up music again. I know that I'd be quite lost in the world if it weren't for music and a guitar is one of the best companions in life.
