I have a friend, who believes me when I tell her of the horrors of modern govern-cement education. However, when I say homeschooling and unschooling she responds with, "But children need to be taught".
She just can't get over the cognitive dissonance.
What I really find interesting about teaching children is that they really only need about one hour of an adults time per day. It really isn't much. As long as they have access to information.
