Val, I like that you think weren't judging. My only criticism is that Sarah Palineque arguments don't work. Throwing something up on the wall to see if it sticks doesn't mean it is valid.
Not that I couldn't see the connection between creativity and free time but I asked where was the correlation on quantity.
DD's grade 1 class had a publishing party a few weeks ago. I was shocked when I read her work. It was amazingly creative and I have no idea where she pulled things. The dialogue, how she told the story. So somehow my overscheduled little girl is developing her creativity.
But my question is not tongue in cheek. I really want to hear what people say and think.
That is why I post.
