The cover of the April 30 Time magazine shows a child dressed as a
mini-Einstein, crazy hair and all,and the headline reads:

SO YOU WANT TO RAISE A SUPERKID:::Throw away those flash cards, relax
and let kids be kids. A how-to (and how-not-to)guide for parents
PLUS: The day-care debate

Whoa! I mean, whoa! While I'm sick to death of magazines that presume
to teach us all how to parent, I am astounded at this headline on,of
all things, a Time magazine. I had to rush over to the computer to
tell you mamafriends, and now I'm off to read the article.

Great article!!! The last 2 paragraphs really summed it up well. Too bad they didn't work in a plug for home/unschooling.

I thought the companion article about play was even more interesting. I
think homeschoolers can get caught up in this trap just as easily as anyone
else.
