Kids deserve the freedom to
Learn from real life’s teachable
Moments which are often caught
Not taught in typical schools but
Observed in (extra)ordinary daily
Pursuits at home with their parents.
I remember one of my sons sincerely reciting: “A,B,C,D,E,F,G…H,I,J,K, Elmo pee” ! Linking this sestet to dVerse where Lillian holds class 🙂

You are so right, Lynn. And I love that memory of your son’s version of the alphabet!

If only all homes were like that… for many children the school is a haven.

Great sestet, I loved how it flowed with such a positive message. And I could hear your son sing…Elmo pee, wow.

Absolutely! Hands on is key and the most important lessons in life are about empathy, self reflection, kindness, respect, generosity……mostly taught outside of a classroom.

I believe that the parents are the best examples and teachers.Elmo pee made me smile.

Most useful knowledge is gathered outside the classroom, for sure. As to teaching, as a parent, my wife and I kept in touch with the teachers so that sometimes we could be on the same page.

Yes, it’s important for parents to be involved in their children’s education.

Parents are the main teachers.

They’ll learn by our example!
