Last week I took William to the car museum in El Segundo for a Hot Wheels event. The event was fine, but we had a lot more fun in the museum itself. William even had the chance to sit in a Deloreon.

214: ‘Only Wireless. Less Smart Than an Echo. Lame.’, With Special Guest Paul Kafasis By The Talk Show With John Gruber
This year, my daughter made the move from preschool to school, and the transition was quite difficult for her. We initially enrolled her in a "transitional kindergarten" program at a very high quality private school in the neighborhood. Things went well at first, but after a month or two, Colette began to show signs of distress. She wasn't her normal, bubbly self. She didn't want to go to school in the morning, and would put up a fight to avoid it. She was sad, and it was absolutely heartbreaking. What was going on with our little girl?
My lovely wife Lacey is a former teacher, and has a strong background in education and early childhood development. She introduced me to a different perspective on education, especially for young children. As a result of that process, we pulled Colette from her school, and began searching for a school with a much more progressive outlook on education. As an energetic, creative, and smart little girl, Colette needed more than what her school was offering her. She needed a school that would prepare her not for a world in the midst of the industrial revolution, but for a rapidly changing world that requires innovative thinking, collaboration, and problem solving skills.
After much searching, Lacey found The Knowing Garden Community School, which is only a mile from our home. Colette is now enrolled, and is enjoying every moment of her time. Why? Because TKG has taken a revolutionary approach to education. When we first visited TKG, they shared this fantastic video of a TED talk given by Sir Ken Robinson about Changing Paradigms for Education.
I'm so thrilled that we've found such a wonderful community to be a part of, and am confident that with their support, our children will grow into lifelong learners ready for the rapidly changing and modern world.
