Comments on: All I really need to know, I learned in kindergarten http://www.reschoolyourself.com/kindergarten A grown-up returns to kindergarten in pursuit of learning and happiness Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:16:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Renee http://www.reschoolyourself.com/kindergarten#comment-28 Renee Sun, 11 May 2008 06:23:22 +0000 http://www.reschoolyourself.com/blog/?p=14#comment-28 This is absolutely stunningly beautiful and inspiring. What is it about our world that turns children into self-conscious, unimaginative, fearful adults? How come there aren't classrooms set up for children to teach adults? A classroom where the kindergarteners make the rules and curriculum and the adults have to follow? What if all of the rulers of the world were forced to take a break from their warring and trading and go out for recess. Wouldn't we live in a much more peaceful place?

Transported me to the middle of a vivacious classroom full of these amazing kids. Loved your exchange with Max - he seems almost mythical. Goodness, I need to find a Max in my life as well!

Another kid in Cameroon just might have had some idea about green aliens and stickiness. What matters is that YOUR life is subjectively YOURS. Forget all that objectivity crap we have to learn about at adult school- life is what YOU make it! Make it HAPPY! :-) Well, here’s another piece of advice: don’t cower before the weight of “ORIGINAL.” Another kid in Cameroon just might have had some idea about green aliens and stickiness.
