I'd to hear your experiences as parents. The tips, tricks and experiences you'd like to share. I'll offer some of mines but it's too late for me to start now!

I am beginning what some will call a difficult, yet rewarding goal. In the next year or so, I will be reading and writing on the well known "Dr.Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," known as The Harvard Classics. My goal is to finish 51 volumes in the next year. I hope is to use this Blog as my Journal, which will enable me to engage with my thoughts, ideas, confusions, logic, and analytical triumph in understanding these classics. Once I complete 51 volumes of "The Harvard Classics," I intend to dive into the Great Books also known as the "Great Books of the Western World." I know that there are many other important works of the Eastern Canon and other cultural importance's out there, which I intend to read, but I have to begin somewhere. I will write up a more in-depth summary of Dr.Eliot's "The Harvard Classics," and the Mortimer Adler's "The Great Books of the Western World," as I proceed to read,review,annotate and chew on these classics. I will proceed to write about each book,page and paragraph as I see fit. If you'd like more information, or simply looking to chat about these historical classics, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] This is a beginning of self-education and self-improvement and I hope you will join me. You can follow my journey on my Blog - http://www.leonbasin.blogspot.com

I mean its common sense everyone has a degree. With many sites like: https://www.coursera.org/ and https://www.edx.org - it is going to absolutely be "worthless." Experience will rain again, as well as connections and personality. I guess this is good and bad? Higher Learning needs a shake-up?
