[Mr. K]

What in my post suggested I was against home- schooling? you sound like the perfect home schooler parent, doing it the right way.


I was mainly addressing the way the media picked an idiot parent to make it sound like all home-schooling is bad.

Dear Mr. K,

"What in my post suggested I was against home- schooling?"

I didn't mean to suggest that you were against homeschooling. My apologies for not being clearer.

You do, however, seem to be against unschooling.

For that reason, I gave examples from how we do things. Although we aren't unschoolers, per se, we reserve a large part of our son's time for unschooling-like activities.

The fact is, much of what my sons learn is through unschooling, and ALL of what my sons master is through unschooling. Without the unschooling aspect of their education, my sons wouldn't achieve true mastery of much of anything that we taught them.

Folks who make the commitment to do unschooling well can provide an outstanding education to their children.

"you sound like the perfect home schooler parent, doing it the right way."

Thanks very much for the compliment. ;-)

We make more than our share of mistakes.

However, children are literally born to learn. Parents are literally born to teach their children. And children are hard-wired to learn from their parents best.

These strong innate capacities overcome many errors, many mistakes.
