I saw this article today on Facebook and really enjoyed it. While I often think that people are making a huge stretch to constantly think that what works in a small Scandinavian country will work in a big and diverse one, I did agree with this teacher. Breaks are really good for both parent and child and moving children to learning independence is vital in their journey to adulthood. As a homeschool mom none of this is new to me. Teaching and learning are a marathon not a sprint and working against children and not with them will never help them master anything and causes frustration for both parent and child.
