RE: Compulsory Schooling is Child Imprisonment, Part 3
@lesliestarrohara, interesting read.
My family and I choose to homeschool. It is not for everyone, but it addresses most of our concerns with compulsory schooling.
My wife and I are able to customize our children's education to grow their strengths and dreams, as well as help improve the the gaps in their knowledge and skills.
I firmly believe that parents should be the primary educators of their children, regardless of how a child is education (public, private, home). We can not relinquish that responsibility you someone else.
Good for you for taking your children's education into your own hands. We also homeschool. It's not always easy, but I get validation every day that we are making the right choice.
It's crazy watching her interact with other homeschooled kids, versus seeing her with her public school friends. The homeschooled kids are almost invariably kind, confident, conscientious, and excited about learning. The public school kids are almost always catty, anxious, and bored.
