But the remarkable thing about Rebecca is, she's not remarkable. Just an ordinary child put in an extraordinary situation and allowed to develop at her own pace. All children have that potential. They are only restricted and stunted in their development by adults who hold them back, either with archaic teaching methods or by using esteem shattering techniques in the home and at school. That's a tough start to High School, and not what we imagine for our children.
Children are wise, and clever.
Allowing their imagination to soar at school instead of stunting and channelling it develops wisdom. They have already learned how to talk and live in a complex environment by using their natural learning ability. Playing games with their imagination is already highly developed, and why all this has to change when they go to school and the process of learning becomes serious I don't know. Learning is meant to fun. They are born, not created, and those who have the awesome responsibility of educating our children must do it because it's their vocation, not simply a job for which they get well paid.
