re: #135 windsagio

that’s kinda a weird dichotomy :p

Things kids could be doing with non-school time:

Watching good media (We’re fond of the Nottingham periodic table video here, although I think my boys would now like me to get some Cadbury eggs for them to abuse. Watch the videos, and that sentence makes sense.)

Watch mediocre media

Watch poorly done media

Read

Play outside

Build things with building-type toys

Make a mess of the kitchen cooking something

Bicker with their brothers

Arts & crafts (which I’ll have to clean up)

Now, which one of these is quiet, does not make a mess, doesn’t leave me tearing out my hair, and makes me feel like I’m doing my job?
