And yes, the essence of education is of course conversation. We treasure each opportunity to engage this way and love how our 7 yr old grandsons move so deftly between virtual and reality. Whether it's about football strategy, power over adults, drumming, or philosophical topics they fire zingers. They use the word "Actually" to begin every statement.
Yup about history, the corporation, and the East India Company - a long and very wild history; which, as you know, ain't over yet.
Sounds like a superb conversation with your grandson. He learned all that from conversation; not from virtual realities.
What is the essence of education but conversation?
Yes indeedy - it's far from over as yet, lol.

Lovely. I need not tell you how fortunate you are. Thanks!
Yes, and we stay grounded in gratitude. Their parents however are always in a state about the two warring wizards.
Yes, that's the key. "Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."
We're trying our best to stay grounded too; and to not get sucked up into the psychosis vortex along with nearly everyone else.
Your grandson surely picks up on that (the parents being in a "state") - but you can be his grounding rod!
We certainly try. Lots of complex emotions in families. Like everyone we do our fair share of complaining, lol.
