This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Jim Pesek's ESSA students have been busy this week in the Clear Spring School wood shop. Each has finished a first flute and has started another. Two are shown in the photos at left and below. If you have never learned anything like this, you have no idea of the pride students and teacher feel at this moment. If you have done something of this sort with your hands, you may feel inclined to get busy and maybe teach others. Sharing and putting to use what you have learned is consummation of learning. It is the line that separates those who are smart from those who who express wisdom.
