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.

Some things are hard to fix
I take pride in being able to fix things, but some things are very hard to fix, and even with Educational Sloyd and the history of manual training thrown in as reinforcements there are things I wish I could fix, but just can't. The folowing blog post was recommended by Scrapwood Bob, The Sorry State of Today's Youth, and I am quite glad that all kids aren't what the author describes. Last night we had a game night at the library in which the local library sponsored gaming group invited parents and friends for an introduction to "Beatles Rock Band." The kids were great, polite and having a great time, but it was unfortunate that most of the invited parents were no-shows.
