When you eliminate their ability to grow and develop normally, they will have nothing to do but conform to your tyrannical whims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36234406.post-83632530392393192482007-09-10T00:02:00.000-04:002007-09-10T00:02:00.000-04:00You're right.

I think one of the most powerful arguments for homeschooling, as we parents consider it in an ongoing way, is the fact that our own traditional-school educations are so full of the most shocking gaps. Part of why I love homeschooling is that it's giving me another chance at actually learning the stuff I was just getting A's on without remembering, in my own school days.Lydia Netzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448861273955788158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36234406.post-25691852611898300342007-08-30T11:26:00.000-04:002007-08-30T11:26:00.000-04:00You are entitled to your opinion, a I am to mine. ...You are entitled to your opinion, a I am to mine. However, the question itself, "Why can only 1/5th of Americans locate the US on a world map?" proves my point. I am using this event to criticize the school system, not an individual who perhaps did get flustered. <BR/><BR/>Public schools fail children in many ways, the longer they are in them the worse off they are in comparison with the rest of the world's children. Most college freshmen require remedial classes, teaching ideas and facts they should have learned in the previous 12 years. <BR/><BR/>I am certainly no Einstein, just an average mom who wants better for her children. Currently I am learning history, Latin, and phonics alongside my children - all things I didn't learn in public school, college, or grad school!kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138818343753454140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36234406.post-44546643273308989082007-08-29T09:29:00.000-04:002007-08-29T09:29:00.000-04:00I can't believe the lack of understanding for a ne...I can't believe the lack of understanding for a nervous girl on stage. Of course, given the chance to blog it, for example, she could get her head straight and not be distracted by the lights, camera and audience; she could correct her typos while wiping the pb & j and smeared chocolate off her Bible. Too many bloggers give themselves way too much credit for intelligence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
