Parents educate their children naturally outside of the classroom...

Thinking about how our children are taught in schools and imaging how teaching  can be approached differently I began to think about how parents teach their children. Children learn tons from their parents, and the setting is usually (even for the home schooled) not in the traditional classroom setting behind a desk and in front of a chalk board. Some of the most interesting conversations I have had with my boys have been in the car driving to soccer games and talking or listening to music, in the grocery store looking at ingredients, walking downtown and seeing a homeless person or a kid getting arrested or watching a movie and them asking me questions about is going on. Interacting with real life as it is happening and through the use of technology my children are learning - outside of a traditional classroom.
