I just read this fabulous quote on a homeschool blog (
http://redseahomeschool.wordpress.com/):
Yes, part of our daily life is doing stuff we don�t want to do when we don�t want to do it, and that is a skill and habit worth developing. As an adult, however, I have been surprised by how often people express a belief that adulthood consists of just that, and only that. No! Responsibility isn�t just doing things you don�t want to do. A more adult version of responsibility is taking responsibility for making a life in which you can do things you want to do
I love this. "I have been surprised by how often people express a belief that adulthood consists of just that, and only that." What a grim view of our children's futures these "fit the box" educators are trying to sell us!
