It is your life you are developing.

Your life, and the lives of your children, will prosper to the degree you can openly structure self-directed learning and keep it pleasurable. This is the educational importance of the Internet – you can discover and test thousands of ways to learn, and find what suits you best.

As just one option: in computer based learning we can experience life in a more realistic format than common schools. Play a complex computer game, and you learn not by memorization and testing, but by trial and error – and then perhaps a bit of study to improve results.

People act differently as they disassociate reality from game play; they experiment, learn to sacrifice for victory, use personal patterns to plan development, consider trade-offs and negotiations. These types of skills are useful in real life if thought is used to realize the power of gaming decision trees (flexibly planned development) to our futures.

Education should open the mind. Effective learning involves creating and solving our own errors. Go ahead; over-step, stretch, get too enthusiastic. When you make those mistakes common to all high achievers, use them to learn. Then enthusiastically do it again.

The fundamental purpose of education is to create good human beings. Education is vital to the healthy growth and development of one’s personality. In making the ‘beings’ ‘human’ to produce ‘human beings’, lies the importance of education.

  1. Don’t forget real books, choose books of varying subjects and themes, choose books that demonstrates good character, winning and losing and trying your best. Don’t forget to learn to play outside, don’t forget natures lessons.

    Older children love the graphic novels. If you have a reluctant reader give a graphic novel a try. Parents, make books for your younger children from favourite photos…have your child dictate the text for you to add. They soon will become favourites.
