Will they have to do the mundane, low paying work because they don't have that vital "piece of paper" from a uni/ college or trade?<br />Then again, I see kids doing brilliantly at school who are so stressed &never have time to play -toomany extracurricular activities & homework frankienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17643151.post-85517845655241385262009-11-17T10:13:25.174+11:002009-11-17T10:13:25.174+11:00Thanks,Netti....I followed your link & learned...Thanks,Netti....I followed your link & learned a lot more about unschooling.I strive to understand both ways of educating & can see for & against both, but I learned so much reading the posts on that site.I guess we base much of our thinking on our own life experiences & I really loved my first 4 yrs of school, but after that my parents constantly moved and from then on I hated frankienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17643151.post-39542356591114749032009-11-17T09:55:25.616+11:002009-11-17T09:55:25.616+11:00Here's a link to Michelle's story on Imill...Here's a link to Michelle's story on Imillionwomen.com<br />it reminded me so much of your earth friendly ways<br />Michelle's Gift Giving Experiencesfrankienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17643151.post-57555979373396676332009-11-17T02:11:45.938+11:002009-11-17T02:11:45.938+11:00You're welcome!
