I hope Tom doesn't mind me interjecting this on his thread, but I couldn't think of any place for this that could possibly be better. 

As I said over on FedBook...

This should not be "extraordinary"! This is how it should be, and how it used to be until regimented, age-segregated, public schooling became the norm.

Seventy years ago, or even when my parents graduated high school in 1949-50, it was typical for school children to have reached an academic skill level by Grade 6 or 8 that puts most current college graduates to shame.

Let. Children. Learn.

They will!

Watch the video after you read the story.

Kids doing fun stuff indeed... and oh yeah, they learn cool things along the way.

[Russell Kanning]

Very cool
Man if I hadn't wasted all that time in school I could have been an astronaut by age 12. Or at least pretended to go to the moon by age 13. :-)

William helped build this trellis/fence for Becky's garden. We felled the trees and milled the lumber in February.

The Stooges are currently milling lumber and building a cool play structure over at Mark and Laura's place for Jackson.

That's a very cool design!

[Pat K]

Nice work guys!

[Russell Kanning]

I love it

[Tom Sawyer]

Thanks guys. 

Covered in sawdust these days.

That was good.  What program did they use to make the animation?
