Gees Beryl,
Maybe you you seek references as to how formal 'learning' crushes the
spirit out of any kind of learning. I have an 11 year old son in the 5th
grade of a supposedly 'good school.' He comes home with all the
enthusiasm of a banana slug (no slight on you banana slug fans intended)
and enough mindless 'fill in the blanks sheets' to choke a camel. This
passes for teaching and education nowadays? We spend all his hours out
of school trying to undo all that was done in. It is truly very
discouraging.
