2. what if kindergarten was more like high school, or college.

what if they got to follow their curiosity, and work those muscles of exploration and self education.

3. That's how my daughter(s) are doing it (I hope.)

On the 'farm,' at the beach, exploring/repairing, etc etc etc.

4. High school was like kindergarten

for me - the teachers were paid to babysit.

My apologies to kindergarten teachers. From what I remember of kindergarten, not much was taught to us.
