Cultivating Critical Thinkers. This idea has been rumbling around in my head for a long time. And, now I am creating a blog in a very spontaneous move to bring my thoughts to life.
Here is a quote that will help set the stage...
"I have never let my schooling get in the way of my education." ~Mark Twain
Perry and I have been blessed by many people along the way who have challenged us to be critical thinkers. We have made that a mission to pass that on to our kids, and consequently we do many things with our children that other people do not do with theirs. I am wanting to inspire other people in the world to something that is out of the ordinary for most people - especially Americans.
Think for yourselves. You may be surprised what happens.
Until next time,
~Erin

Im not sure if this applies here or not, but this post reminded me of a Robert Frost quote I have read before- its actually taken from a rather lengthy poem entitled "The Black Cottage"
ReplyDelete"For, dear me, why abandon a belief
Merely because it ceases to be true.
Cling to it long enough, and not a doubt
It will turn true again, for so it goes.
Most of the change we think we see in life
Is due to truths being in and out of favour."
I can remember when encyclopedias used to cost ($100s) money? REALLY! Salesmen use to go door to door selling encyclopedias to families with school age children. Today, all the information contained in a set of 26 or so volumes can be accessed by the push of a button through the internet for FREE! What a country?
