What you want to teach them isn't what they want to learn

A truism in the classroom.

And I thought that by home education, we would create a different dynamic. Like, teaching and learning coincide.

Stupid Grit.

I take the gritlets to the British Museum. And I smugly walk them past the noisy school groups to the quiet of the Renaissance rooms. Here we see Tudor plate,

delicate ceramics,
exquisite silverware crafted with mother of pearl.


And then I send the gritlets to draw the object that catches their eye best in all the gallery.


And Tiger comes back with this.


Thanks, Tiger.
