Hey, Daniel, do we want our kids to have the same miserable existence we have ;-)

I want my kids to be exposed to much more than school work. School is not just university prep, though it's treated that way.

As Seth Godin wrote today:

"There is a fundamental shift in rules from manual-based work (where you follow instructions and an increase in productivity means doing the steps faster) to project-based work (where the instructions are unknown, and visualizing outcomes and then getting things done is what counts.)"

Prescribed homework doesn't cut it any more, and I'm angry that it takes so much time away from much more valid and creative activities.
