Thoughts for Homeschoolers
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.

Homeschooling in Action
We have reached a place in the history of Western Culture where we've got to raise children to be prepared for a situation which is no longer sharply defined in terms of functions and tasks. We have got to raise children who can deal with the unknown.
- Daniel Greenberg, in "Child Rearing"
