See, you were speaking to my unconscious! :) Storyteller - I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I find him wonderful, funny and so encouraging! HRH -Gosh Holly, I had no idea you home schooled too! Wow. The people in your world are so very lucky to have you. Good for you for finding something that works -erm butterfly bandage? ;) Claudia - You are such a much better Claudia than I am. I did the middle child thing - nodded my head until they shut up! ;) Lynn – Gosh, I am so glad I posted it. See, you were speaking to my unconscious! :)

LOL...good thing for me I'm stubborn enough to have flat out refused!! I also had some amazing teachers that really did things differently... he’s smart and funny!! makes me also think of how often my mom told me to be a lawyer, nurse or teacher, so I’d always have a job!!

There are so many parts of that I would like to mention, but the one that stands out is the doctor who diagnosed the girl as a dancer. The whole ADHD debate is so close to home here with 3 boys who couldn't sit still if you put a ton of bricks on their lap. I don't think my boys are wired that way. This is one reason that traditional school doesn't work for my kids. Thankfully we have found something that does work (1/2 Classical Education, 1/2 home school). My heart just screams for all those children who weren't diagnosed dancers and ended up with a creative squash instead... I am emailing this to my entire homeschool group. There are many dancers among them... Ahhhh…truth. There are so many parts of that I would like to mention, but the one that stands out is the doctor who diagnosed the girl as a dancer.

I?ve watched the video twice this morning and am about to view it a 3rd time (after I get coffee and fix a bowl of cereal with fruit ? before I give any thought to what I might publish for T-13 even though it?s Thursday). This man speaks to my heart & soul ? reminding why I became a teacher in the mid-1960s and why I retired in 2001 ? frustrated (to the core of my being) with the educational ?system? in California after watching it turn away from amazing potential in the mid-1980s to meaningless ?test-driven? curriculum in the 1990s. I've been dancing ever since ;--) Hugs and blessings, Thank you so much for this link!
