One of the crew at the boatyard inspired me today. He said he wasn't keen on owning his own boat. What excited him was having a lovely luxury yacht come in. He would work on it, scrape, grind, prime, glass, paint. When she leaves she is a work of art, a tiny piece of perfection. The work of his hand. The satisfaction on his face told it all.
Is it even possible to give our kids that satisfaction in their education? I mean, really, how much soul stirring gratification can there be in a multiple choice test?
