A friend shared this talk with me a few days after I decided to make a major shift in our home-school curriculum, to focus on the kids' social/emotional/spiritual/physical preparedness instead of the academics. I just felt like there was a window and for this period, academic learning just wasn't important. Anyway, watching this talk was like a confirmation about the importance of an education that has nothing to do with academics. I really appreciated it.
