Your comments are just as anecdotal as mine.
Where are the carefully controlled education studies that show **exactly** :
— where is the student acquiring their knowledge ( home, school, elsewhere)?
—who is doing the teaching ( parent, the child himself, the teacher, tutor, tutoring center, friends, relatives, trips to museums and historical sites, or study groups as is common with Asians)?
— how is the learning acquired ( textbooks, lectures, TV, video, library, home reading material, etc.)
Since who, where, and how are ***fundamental*** to all learning I would think that any government teacher or college professor of education would be able to **immediately** post links to these scientific studies of education.
One more thing: I bet if we were to review your family’s homelife ( kids and parents) and our homeschooling family ( kids and parents) we would quickly learn that our habits were very very very closely similar both educationally and otherwise.
I hope not! For your sake! :) We are the most disorganized family I know. hah I guess there may be some order somewhere in the madness.
