I am not sure that "The Educating Parent" means this, but the demonstrated ability to adapt your ideas is precisely what I appreciated the most from this post.
Inspirational Suzanne. Brings to mind a book I read at the end of my education degree. Many years ago. It was about "futures", making the point that we often teach children as if there is a known and inevitable future and try to orient them to whatever that is. When, in fact, we need them know that we create our future collectively and we need them to develop their imaginations and creativity and to do so in community. You are bringing a vision to bear that matters deeply.
creating a collective vision should be what all education focuses on. Having a shared vision is also motivating to get things done - often we are handed someone else’s vision that we must live by.
<3 this post!
thank you… I wanted to both share my vision, but also show that we need to be continuously adapting and changing when needed
