It doesn't have to be painting or making something, but just looking at a leaf, or baking bread with me.<BR/><BR/>@ Deb: totally agree. It's like forcing a child to write with the right hand when they're obviously left-handed. It kills neurones...<BR/><BR/>@ HIB: thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again.Mindful Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446280604807144826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590331586734780274.post-2109277957597906892009-01-14T01:37:00.000+01:002009-01-14T01:37:00.000+01:00I saw your blog from Jungle of Life.Thanks for the...I saw your blog from Jungle of Life.<BR/>Thanks for the link.

One of my favorite examples is hearing Harry Chapin tell the story of his song 'Flowers are Red.' Evidently a teacher told him 'your son marches to his own song, but don't worry we'll have him marching in line soon.'<BR/>Ugh.DebMchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09920733814018656913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590331586734780274.post-42461837291439177042008-12-20T10:47:00.000+01:002008-12-20T10:47:00.000+01:00I recently embedded this video on one of my sites ...I recently embedded this video on <A HREF="http://www.entertainthethought.com/do-schools-kill-creativity/" REL="nofollow">one of my sites</A> too.
