I don't want to rear children to be a cog in this wheel. It is obvious that many homeschooling families are nothing more than reformed public educational systems. A system faulty at the very core of its philosophy doesn't need reformation. It needs dismissal. Whether in the home, dictated by parents, or in the corporate classroom, John Dewey style education has taken an invasive, destructive course.
Child prodigies are usually abnormal, unfulfilled adults.
Head-starters are often late finishers with no desire to continue their education. Schooling will fill their brains with facts, enabling them to pass tests, but it will not teach them to relate to society. If you have wondered where the real men went, they disappeared into textbooks and went through puberty with books in their laps rather than tools in their hands. Let us not go through another upper class Alexandrian Dark Age. I write this while sitting in a room with thousands of books lining all available wall space from the floor to ceiling.
