Perspective in Learning

 

Last week, I wrote about perspectives and how it makes a difference in the way you see things.  Homeschooling, learning, education also have an element of perspective.  

When I have my "school" glasses on, I see learning differently.  With "school" glasses, I mean visualizing the learning through subjects, memorization, and isolated understanding.  The perspective I have is one of lacking.  I see what my kids don't know, haven't learned, can't understand.  Yet when I remove the glasses, thus shifting my perspective, I move to abundance, seeing more knowing, learning, understanding.  Sitting with each of them,  I observe all they are truly accomplishing interconnected in everyday living.  This is true learning as they synthesize and grow, instead of performing rote tasks for some outside influence.  

What perspective do you have on learning today?
