A Kid’s World - Part One

About the Book

Learning is education in and of itself. It wends itself through everything we see and do. Many have tried to find the best way to teach everyone. Aesop was good. Socrates tried. Plato, with all his faults, also tried. Shakespeare masked education in his writings. McGuffey tried with his little books. Arthur Miller showed us things. Parents, even with very good education, try to teach the children and oftentimes in vain. Because everyone is different. With even a minimal background in learning how to put things together, the best education seems to come from the lessons of one’s experiences. This little book contains a few learning experiences that our younger children can learn from and can use to fashion their lives.
