Some great thoughts for homeschoolers.

Homeschooling in Action

What is essential is to realise that children learn independently, not in bunches; that they learn out of interest and curiosity, not to please or appease the adults in power; and that they ought to be in control of their own learning, deciding for themselves what they want to learn and how they want to learn it
- Holt

Homeschooling in Action

When they learn in their own way and for their own reasons, children learn so much more rapidly and effectively than we could possibly teach them, that we can afford to throw away our curricula and our timetables, and set them free, at least most of the time, to learn on their own.
- Holt

Homeschooling in Action

What we want to see is the child in pursuit of knowledge, not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
- George Bernard Shaw
