That was me; a little too loud, artistic, emotionally charged and wanting to jump free of the box we were placed in. School for me was hard, my extrovert self became introverted. Is that a thing?
Oh gosh I feels like I could write a novel on this subject and the experiences of education for me and my boys. I will keep it short though. I feared school, maths made me cry. I swore my children would NEVER feel that, I am forever and ever grateful that the universe provided a Montessori school 2 minutes from our home. Monti education allowed my boys to be themselves, to explore, be curious and thrive x
I'm much the same, there is so much to say and yet sometimes a little is enough to allow others to feel they are not alone right? Maybe one day we could record a chat about it. It's forming especially as creatives and not in a positive way always. I love that you found a fit for them xx
I was thinking just recently how awesome it would be to have an artists school - like a drama school or a school that’s super focused on sports but instead - allll about creativity with supplementary classes on the boring but important stuff like maths!!! Maybe it already exists - or maybe it’s time one did!!

YES, let's chat about it. I am out the other side of "school" now and gosh I am passionate about children's education in a holistic way.
