Kathryn,
Do you think he wanted the structure or set learning time as a result of
having previously been in school or do you think that's just his
personality?
*******************
Interestingly, it wasn't until a few years after he'd been out of school
that he wanted this. And it was never a schooly sort of thing. It was more that
he would get distracted with some things he wanted to do and never get around
to other things he wanted to concentrate on. He never devalued the other
stuff he did as NOT being learning. So, I really don't think it was
school-influenced. I think it was just him.

And how old was he then? Just wondering. It would seem to me that that
might be more likely to happen with an older child who had some specific
goals he wanted to reach.
