This was still up in the air last I checked. Max starts 5th grade next year. QTL is very much on the radar, but I'm glad we have a year to see how they do before having to commit.

Systems thinking (or "symphony") is one of them, others include EQ, creativity, play with a purpose, etc. I'm trying to help her get meet people who can help with the mission in some way, so please post your thoughts here if this resonates and/or you know people or organizations she should talk to.

The venture I'm try to start is still in research/development phase, but the basic premise is teaching the important skills that you don't learn in class in an online class and then providing a platform for kids to hone those skills. If anyone knows anyone else who works in online learning, creative/conceptual education, or is just a really cool educaiton innovator, please let me know! Thanks, Laura Thanks for the shout-out Rafe!

Systems thinking (or "symphony") is one of them, others include EQ, creativity, play with a purpose, etc. I'm trying to help her get meet people who can help with the mission in some way, so please post your thoughts here if this resonates and/or you know people or organizations she should talk to.
