The story is told that Albert Einstein was once asked how many feet are in a mile. Einstein's reply was, "I don't know. Why should I fill my brain with facts I can find in two minutes in any standard reference book?"
This made me think of the homeschooling I'm doing with my kids. At first, when I went into this homeschooling thing, I was thinking, "I don't want to teach my kids what to learn. I want to teach them how to learn."
But now, I think I've gone a step beyond that. I don't want to teach my kids how to learn... I want to teach them how to think.
You know... like Einstein.

You're going to teach them to think like Einstein? Doesn't that mean you have to be able to think like Einstein yourself?
I think Einstein got most of his ideas while working some job like coat check, just daydreaming in silence. Didn't he?
