The question of privilege is an important one, and the author would do well to confront it more transparently, since it's easy to assume she and her family have had many options available to them that many people do not. But I do not think that diminishes the value of posing her broader question, which seems to be, "What kind of learning is best for our children?" From there we might ask, "What kind of society can we build to support our children's growth?" This line of inquiry might be transformative beyond merely the kinds of activities children do in school.
