Education videos

College students live 26.5hr days to make it through school.

Then there is this TED lecture that reasons through the systemic destruction of children's creativity.


We have to realize that schooling our children will not allow us to give them the lives we want them to lead.

I realize that the education my child needs is far different from what they can get in school. She needs to be feel the freedom within herself that it is okay to experiment and to fail. I feel the need to find out how the Greeks calculated the circumference of the earth and build steam engines and all kinds of things so she can watch and do it too.

We need more LEGOs.
