RE: Unschooling: Why I Chose to Homeschool

in #life7 years ago

I love the Frank Martin Quote! It's silly to think how often we say things like "Kids aren't the same anymore!" We structure our mental models around such meaningless sayings. It's important to protect our minds from beliefs that shift our locus of control outward. We have the responsibility to change what we don't like. If we don't like the culture that brews in public schools then we have the duty to act. Homeschooling is quite the notable act!

Bravo! It is like the story of the old hound on the porch. A neighbor walked by and asked the dog's owner why the hound kept moaning and groaning. The dog's owner replied, "when he is tired of laying on that nail he'll move."
