Great Essay on homeschooling. He articulates what I believe about education in today's society. If it wasn't for my bookworm tendencies, I would have had a very bad education. I don't want to send my smart 3 year old to government school to be taught on what the latest fad is and how to be cruel to other children because of their real or perceived differences.
