She wrote: '"Every once in awhile I get a bug in my head saying, 'Gosh, I don't think I know that this is out there in the world,'" Tellew said. "I started telling them about math and they didn't really care. Pushing that kind of stuff is what gives people that resistance." She would rather her children follow something that excites them. '<BR/><BR/>What I said was, "Every once in a while, I get a little bug in my head saying, 'Gosh, I don't think they (my kids) know that this is out there in the world.' Then I told her about how I'd recently been on a little math jag of my own, learning about Fibonacci numbers for the first time, and when I showed my kids they weren't interested at the time, so I dropped it. My son thought the way it was written <BR/>made them sound anti math, which they aren't, just busy with something else they cared more about at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and it wasn't exactly an unschooling camp-out where she interviewed people but there were lots ofunschoolers there.<BR/><BR/>But overall, a pretty good article. I loved that she quoted so many kids.<BR/><BR/>PamSandra Doddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.com
