I love this! What a great overarching goal to keep on the horizon. Share your thoughts as you come up with ideas to reach this goal! I think great literature, like Trumpet of the Swan, is a huge step in this direction.

Hummm...I know I commented on this a few days ago...maybe I did something wrong, or maybe with Kelly's double post above, blogger is just doing something funny.
Anyways, I love what you said about teaching your children to think. Thanks for sharing it with us at Trivium Tuesdays! I hope you will share with us again this week!
