[QUOTE="helpmehelphim, post: 37360, member: 2650"] What about travel, volunteering, getting to know people from different places who look different but turn out to be so much the same? What about listening to differing opinions and considering them, even though they are not in line with- my thinking? What about playing, dancing, laughing, daydreaming...doing nothing...talking/listening to people? I could go on and on (and I know you are glad that I don't). I used to believe that well educated meant having a structured, textbook, preferably Ph.D., degree from a prestigious institute of higher learning. And I value that type of "well educated" too. The continual learning piece though has me hooked...the willingness to open oneself up to possibilities and to the value of everything around us as education. The value found in digging in the dirt and getting dirty... Because we homeschool, I asked my kids the other day, "what does being well educated mean to you?" And the answers that I keep getting (especially from my difficult child).... [/QUOTE]
