How The “10,000 Hour” Rule Can Benefit Any Child

Laura Grace Weldon has written an article explaining how home school kids are privileged to be able to put this rule of 10,000 hours to work for them now.

I like how she includes the ways kids can invest their 10,000 hours in ways we may not think to include or give credit for.

“Gladwell reminds us that 20 hours a week for 10 years adds up to 10,000 hours. Filling those hours meaningfully? That’s no problem for self-directed, endlessly curious learners. Chances are, they’ll grow up to redefine success. Who knows what today’s young people, raised to think deeply and freely, can bring to the future?”
