Nate Rides A Two-Wheeler!

Kids are born prewired to learn, right? Here is an example of what can happen when we get out of their way. A couple weeks ago Nate decided to teach himself how to ride a TWO WHEELER (without training wheels)! He refused all offers of assistance; talk about intrinsic motivation! It was so exciting. Watch him here:



An interesting book about motivation is Drive - The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink. You can also hear the author in this TED Talk.

Valedictorian Speaks Out...

It would appear that this teen from New York did some studying "outside of the box". I am pretty sure John Taylor Gatto is not on most High School "Required Reading" lists. Read her "out of the norm" valedictorian speech!

If you are moved by Erica's speech and you haven't already seen the film
Race to Nowhere, you might find it worth a watch. It will be officially released this fall.
