Hello! May I add a few comments regarding teachers? The student's "curiosity" level is the most important element--therefore feed the curiosity!! Techniques are a wonderful thing, but if I, as a student, am not having fun & feeding my spirit, what am I getting from the lesson? I'm going to compare this to the usual public education vs Montesorri (as an example). I'm too old to have had the option of a Montesorri program, but I think I would have been the ideal student in this setting. I'm sure I was the bane of many teachers' existences (in public school) because I was always off in the weeds somewhere. If the rest of the class was in the front of the book, I was in the back--or in a completely different book. <G> BUT, I have learned all sorts of things by following the "curious" thread in my life. Most of them have been "out of sequence" if you subscribe to the public education mantra. The path less travelled? Forge ahead!! Susan in Erie, PA just returned from p articipating in a kumihimo demo at Kimonofest in Canton, OH. Yes, it was worth 5 hours round trip drive time!
