Excellent article! A friend told me a long time ago that we all have "learning gaps" and that's normal and expected. Everyone is an individual and has their own strengths and interests. Each one of our children are very different and they will each persue their own "education" which will reflect who they are. Just like it would be silly of me to expect the veterinarian to understand how to install a roof...it's just as silly to expect every child to memorize the same propaganda facts. Just wake up everyone and turn off the tube we truly do live in the information age and everything we ever wanted to know is at our fingertips. It's exciting to think about the access to true "knowledge" that my children have and the time freedom that they have to persue it.
