RE: Happiness is in a Pile Of Rocks...
Oh wow that's crazy... off course the banana farmers won't fix the road, though woudn't they do it once the road was completely unusable and actually hurt their business???
I've swen many roads down in central and south america and I know it's hard to believe but some roads in Mew York City are on pare with some of the worst roads I've seen... even in Haiti!
Well, they are usually in big trucks, and those guys can almost always get down the road. It has to be REALLY bad for them to not pass.
That's crazy New York would have such horrible roads, though I guess it's hard to do repairs when the traffic literally never stops!
That's what I think... traffic never stops! There is also an ugly budget thing happening, if they don't spend that year's budget they get less money the next year. And unions... job security. Work slow, and mke sure you still have work to finish tomorrow (always)!
Such an inefficient system. Just top to bottom. I'm so grateful for unions, but people just shouldn't do a job they don't love. Love what you do, do it well, and there will always be more work for you. It's ultimately a failure of the school system I think.
I completely aggree with you. It's an education thing... It's sad how so many of us humans feel forced or lazy to join in the mal-education ceremony most of our lives... Sometimes the law makes us do it too!
True, Unions can do it smart too
The modern education system is super nefarious.
I would love to un-school our little guy. Don't know if we have the capacity right now but once other families join us on the homestead hipefully we'll be more motivated. I want him to have other kids to play with in the forest
It's definitely better with other kids. That's a big bit of our motivation to move! Unschooling certainly has its challenges, but even just letting the little one follow you around and watch what you do is so nourishing for them. A set of wooden tools and plastic garden tools goes a long way. It's amazing what they pick up! I have been unschooling for nearly 20 years and was also a founder and staff member of a Sudbury school, so feel free to pick my brain. I'm absurdly passionate!
Wow... I was just texting with a good friend about sudbury schools!!! Amazing. I really love the idea of it, I've only just started looking into it and we have 1 year and some months to decide. Plenty of time for researching deep!
One of our dreams for this property we now live on is to found a school like it... but sudbury is just 15 minutes from us so who knows perhaps we can cooperate as a place for field trips for off grid living, survival stuff (in a non-dooms day fashion).
Our little human loves his mini shovel and he's learning the trees we have. Not even 4 yet, he tells people , this is a sasafrass, that's black locust and this is plantain (as he munches on a small leaf).
Thank you for the inspiration to look into this even more now 😁!
