What if the problem with education isn't that children don't want to learn, but that we've forgotten how learning actually works? Picture a mother scrambling eggs over a driftwood fire on a beach, tide pools waiting to be explored, children writing silly notes to deliver by bike in a makeshift Pony Express. These aren't Instagram-worthy moments designed for performance-they're what happens when we stop treating education as something we do *to* children and start recognizing it as something already alive in them. The radical truth at the heart of this approach is disarmingly simple: children already love learning. They're doing it constantly. The question isn't how to make them learn-it's whether we're paying attention to what they're actually learning, and whether we have the courage to trust it.
