Started out boring, was I even about to close it but then it got to the "computer in the wall" part, that is automatic five stars. I wonder how they didn't break it or anything though, kids break things often.

Outdoctrination! I love this term! How marvelous! It seems that all is falling into place after all. It's perfect when I see through all the mud and chaos happening in the world a small light that shines bright. It eases my heart because I know I'm not alone riding the wave creating the new. I know helping kids learn by themselves using their own natural curiosity works wonders because I've used it w/ my own child. Education in the New Gaia will only be based on the love of learning! :D

Man was that a discovery or what??? Of course we can teach ourselves! Since we're born we can.I learn a lot better by my own.Hope everybody can. Or else this is a pity.Am I being selfish?Geez, I blame those who can't learn by there own. It's the consequences of society.We are loosing our natural instincts. Humans can't go further now. We must reestablish total freedom and peace before we do.

We can look at the internet as a sort of educational group also. I taught myself how to use photoshop as an adolescent through use of forums, and tutorials on the internet. I also taught myself the basics of the HTML programming language, just because i was interested in web pages. A desire to learn has to be a factor though... not many kids would be motivated enough to want to learn photoshop or a computer programming language on there own.

...and, kittykattykoo, who is deciding what's good and what's wrong to teach children? yeah, it's clear that abusing other people is wrong and children should be taught that, but how about teaching a child science when he has a natural inclination towards arts and, left alone, s/he'll just go self-teaching arts ?

I taught my brother to ride a bicycle before i could ride it myself - and I taught my daughter to swim - but I cannot. I was only 8 or so when I taught my brother to ride.

Teaching yourself to read is not uncommon in homeschoolers, and to my great surprise, one day my 4 year old daughter, who I had never tried to teach anything, wrote me a note.Thanks for sending ewops.
