We have fun. We all love home schooling and would never ever ever go back willingly to public or private school. I just can't see the point of trying to make our homes into little duplicate school systems. The problems with school systems are so numerous and they just can not be fixed. Life is enough of an education.
Children learn because they love learning.
When they find their niches in life because they have found them and they love them then they live lives that are productive and their own. This world changes in positive ways because we have movers and shakers and creative thinkers that look at the world in different ways. What saddens me more then anything is to see little wide-eyed children being ushered off to school and within a few years they rebel against anything that smacks of learning. Oh dear, I am going on again. I envision a society where all the schools and places of learning are open all the time and anyone can go there and access information and ideas and tools and people who know ideas and information.
