Dd said she wanted to try, but after one lesson she said never again. Her reason being because the rules of the teacher took all the fun away from playing the piano. It took all of the creativity away. A big reason why a unschool.

We all, as individuals, are praised when we are being "something". Why not just "be"?lukskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836456707666850172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8805323468407241809.post-3450650753050805672016-07-18T22:25:52.969-04:002016-07-18T22:25:52.969-04:00Omg!
