I brought my son this awesome kite, and it got caught in a tree. We ran back to our house, grabbed a long pool cleaning device, and returned to get the kite. It was gone. I guess the wind came faster that day rather than sooner. Your post reminds me of a time I returned from a trip to England with gifts for my kids.

Learning can be homework and at school we can discuss, process, and digest. Tis a shame it has to be that way.

I laughed... Seriously - if this were a classroom learning experience, how would/should the teacher handle kids' first responses to go to YouTube or Wikipedia and how would that teacher curb the students' disenfranchisement with not being allowed to go there in their attempts to learn? How should the teacher empower students without compromising the quality of learning outcomes? Should we let students fail more? Perhaps that is a powerful learning experience...
