State-School or Circus-School? The Debate Continues.............
State-School or Circus-School,
ask your children which they would prefer?
ask your children which they would prefer?
Yay! oh man, this makes me so stoked to see! I'm glad you didn't give up- you're right the confidence and fitness is going to serve the girls so well (not that they aren't already AWESOME- I totally experienced that at steemfest)
I would have done literal backflips for circus school when I was their age !
Quote of the Day! By far!
I see what you did there, well actually it sank in half way through replying to this message, so I had delete and start again :)
Baha! Yes! Success!
That looks like so much fun! And out in beautiful nature too! Discovering the world while finding your balance in all kinds of different physical position seems something that would teach us a lot about life. Rudolf Steiner teaches that we have more then 5 senses and there are words for that: sense of movement, sense of balance. They are actually vital senses that have an impact on a wide range of functions in life including emotional and mental. Training sense of balance and sense of movement is something that is neglected in the lives of children who are playing online games instead of moving their bodies and has consequences.
Sense of movement, sense of balance!
Idea came to mind right away:
To find a tree and climb it!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment @clara-andriessen.
Do it!
Yeah I would my children too to get a schooling for their own self-confidence-building activities like having a school with circus-like approach.
Yes @cryptopie! Wouldn't the world be special if all children could express themselves in this way. :)
Thanks for stopping by @cryptopie
You know what they sag @markwhittam that every child deserve the very best. It helps them have a positive mindset towards the world and that alone is what changes the world we live in- positive minded and happy children.
Seems like this type of kinesthetic education is so very much lacking in modern culture. Thanks for bringing the circus school to light. I for one have come to know my body more as an adult, but spend many hours as a child in sports where rules and structure were the norm. If we let children explore the natural world and their bodies on their own terms perhaps we would have a happier, healthier and stronger population.
Agreed!
Sports at school are all about picking your side and going to battle, no wonder the world is a little messed up right now.
Thank for your input.
Bless.
This look like a lot of Amazing Fun! What a cool dad you are to bring the circus-school to your girls! They will be very strong and confident...so exciting :) Great Pics!!!
Thank you @crosheille, strength and confidence are very important, with these two, nothing can stop a child from becoming whatever they wish.
Bless.
Absolutely :)
Think of all the different types of school there could be!
Space School
Poet School
Farm School
Theater School
Philosopher School
Forest School
Ocean School
Restaurant School
Entrepreneur School
The possibilities are endless. It would be so wonderful if all education was voluntary, exploratory, and empowering!
Totally agree, only, You forgot Steemit school ;)
Thanks for dropping in @lesliestarrohara
Yeah definitely circus school, I second what you say about @shivvi, my girls have been doing trapeze and silks with her for nearly 3 months now and she is awesome. Great post Mark and love those photos.
Circus school sounds awesome XD
Sometimes the kids do need to have it spelled out that it's okay to start from nothing and build up to all that talent they perceive everyone else has having :) Glad they're enjoying it now :D
@markwhittam it is very nice for children to do sports at a young age.gaining a sporting habit is very important for a healthy life
Yes, I think this type of sport is great for kids, however sports they teach at school are always competitive which I'm not such a fan of as I believe this leads to a competitive nation.
Thanks for the feedback
