My favorite educator is a British woman named Charlotte Mason,  quite frankly she was wise beyond her years.  Here is a quote about the critical importance of children participating in projects using their hands.  The child is only truly educated who can use his hands as truly as his head, for to neglect one part of our being injures the whole, and the learned book-worm who is ignorant of the uses of a screwdriver, also lacks that readiness and resourcefulness, mental neatness and capability, and reverence for labour and its results, which a knowledge of practical matter gives.”

 

 

Enjoy and Happy Fourth of July my friends! 

 

Blessings,
