I am still in awe over this and smile when I think about it. No parent thinks that they are underestimating their children's ability - but we all do without meaning to. This taught me a lesson about valuing explore time as much as scheduled time for activities. They'll probably do more with their explore time than I can ever "plan" for them. :) Melanie Sylvia,

Guess this is yet another example of why the XO laptop works. Speaking of which, I need to remember to budget for it this time... I want to get one and possibly attempt to help develop software for it in the long term feature, so I was waiting for the give one get one deal to come back. Are you gonna advocate for that one again on your blog, Sylvia? I was going to give a link to it on my blog and explain it this year. (Watch me donate the one I get to Capital/another educational institute or something though, and dare the GenTECH class to program software for it... That'd just be an excuse for me to do it again at a later date.) Well that’s a neat little story. Guess this is yet another example of why the XO laptop works.

Doesn't look like it will make it anytime soon though. This was supposed to be on the XO, too. Doesn’t look like it will make it anytime soon though.
