Creativity

[Spartacus]

A five year old creative recycling unit:

School art and craft lessons are a limited time; at home children carry on until they finish.The results are immediate (not taking weeks) and rewarding.

What lovely works of art, well done to the 'talented five year old'.

Why does She Do This?

Because tutor doesn't say 'Time to pack-up children it's end of lesson'.


She does not think of this as education but says it is her hobby. All of the ideas are hers with no assistance or even encouragement, like all home educators we facilitate and say 'yes of course you can' rather than the school 'teachers' who have to say 'No, you must stop now'.

Just a Daddy but another Home Education Evangelist,

Hello, Sprog of Spartacus
Thanks for the enlightenment, and the inspiration. I've just been reading a book (textbook style) about child development...you have just thrown all of that out the window!!! What a cool start to your life, cookie.
Cheers

Creativity - A MUST VIEW video for Home Educators

Sir Ken Robinson condemns lack of creativity in schools and propounds a case for rethinking education. He is an advocate for Home Educating without realising it!

Many Home educators express concern about whether or not their young children spend too much time on making and playing with things. Sir Ken suggests that the influence comes from schools who lack an understanding of the importance of creativity (the bedrock of innovation).

We have watched this many times; it is compelling and entertaining.

Sorry if this is a re-post

Just watched this, brilliant. The man says everything I feel about how to nurture children, and what the education system and wider society does to them. Thank you.
