Dear Hiren Bhai,
I think I replied on your email address but nevertheless, your Life Positive article was superb. I share similar views, homeschool our children and am trying to find a way to start an alternative school built on a farm. similar to what JK does at Rishi Valley but they still follow the input method rather than a process method.
Sometimes I think it is best not to educate at all and let the child drive the situation. We are doing that with Govind our almost 5 year old son. I think till 6 years or 7 years, it is best not to actually try and teach anything except language.
Would love to share my ideas with you and it would be nice to have someone more senior put things in a different perspective. I realsie the pitfalls of tunnel vision, not that I get into this anymore but when you are doing something totally against the norm, you are put on the defensive automatically and then the discussion becomes more an established tug of war than an open, learning tool.
I run my own sales agency and am sort of semi retired. When I am not travelling I am reflecing, reading and surfing the net. This last month has been learning stock trading and trying to get software up and running. Thanks to Vish I have managed to speed up on this front.
We live in Pune.
