Some great thoughts for homeschoolers.

Homeschooling in Action

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
-Mark Twain

Homeschooling in Action

If you live in a material universe where acquiring things is very important to you, then family is an absolute deterrent to maintaining that sort of a world, because family involves values like affection, and sympathy, and passion, and types of pleasure that lead nowhere in a material sense. John Taylor Gatto, in "Alternatives in Education"

Homeschooling in Action

For all of the virtues required in the art of childrearing, none is more important - and none rarer - than patience, in parents, in family, in friends; patience to allow the miracle of human development to unfold according to its own internal laws, from birth through infancy and childhood and youth, and even till the moment of death.
- Daniel Greenberg, in "Child Rearing"
