his is so true! That's why unschooling is so wonderful! It gives
children a chance to take control of their education (life). I believe that
children need lots of time to just "think". I always wonder when I see my
child playing in the sandbox, or pulling weeds in the garden, what they're
"thinking about". Maybe they're trying to "figure out the world", or
wondering where their life "fits in" in the grand scheme.
School takes that away. Children who go to school are always so "busy".
School all day, homework, extra-curricular activities... When do they have
time to THINK?!

I agree! I spend every day of my THINKING. It's strange to me that some
people do not constantly think -- I can't imagine it. Lots of times during
the day I'll get up and start pacing around the house. It helps me sort
things out in my mind -- and it's good exersise too, hehe. ;-) ~Eryn
