What I had in mind RE: homeschooling is the emphasis on mentoring and apprenticeships over and against lectures and classroom learning. Some amount of book-work is necessary for technical careers, but even in the high-tech arena there is no substitute for being able to work side-by-side with an experienced mentor. If we could ditch the college model for a mentor-based training model we could show the rest of the world once again what made America great in the first place. (Hint: It wasn’t MBA’s.)
You are right. I almost mentioned this explicitly, too, because it is an integral part of the entrepreneurial spirit you find in the homeschool community.
