Some great thoughts for homeschoolers.

Homeschooling in Action

All I am saying in this book can be summed up in two words: Trust Children. Nothing could be more simple, or more difficult. Difficult because to trust children we must first learn to trust ourselves, and most of us were taught as children that we could not be trusted.

-John Holt, in "How Children Learn"

Homeschooling in Action

For many parents, homeschooling is a matter of heart and belief; they feel deeply and strongly that they should be homeschooling. They sometimes start homeschooling with only this conviction to go on, unsure of exactly how they will proceed, and they work out practical details and solve problems as they go along.

-Larry and Susan Kaseman, in "Taking Charge Through Homeschooling"

Homeschooling in Action

The most potent force for change... is the growing recognition of millions of adults that their own impoverished expectations and frustrations came, in large measure, from their schooling.
-Marilyn Ferguson, "The Aquarian Conspiracy"
