I just happened to stop in Twin Mountain NH yesterday and noticed the article about Jed'd bike trip in The NH Sunday News. I am planning to refer to it in a book I have almost finished about raising and schooling kids.<br /><br />I think his "discovery" of the basic goodness of ordinary Americans and their desire to work together to make us stronger will fit well with my theme. My book develops our need to emphasize character and cooperative problem solving rather than continue today's political wrangling. <br /><br />And it explores the relative unimportance of high IQ and grades in producing decent and competent citizens. The future of that nice looking child you're holding will be determined by much more than IQ, and cultivating those other parts of her(?) adult nature, is what I am writing about.<br /><br /> I think Jed found that most Americans have a lot more of that important stuff which school grades don't reveal. Our problem may be that too many high IQ "smart" people are in charge and we need less of them and more people with some common sense and simple integrity.<br /><br />In any case, it was a happy coincidence seeing your blog. I may not use Northshire as a POD publisher, but will come up with some firm soon. By the way, if you want to read and edit another MS, I need all the help I can get!<br /><br />Bill GreeneBill Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919521754283309024noreply@blogger.com
