T he beauty of homeschooling is that it is warm, personal, and centered on the needs and interest of each individual child. Accreditation, in contrast, stands for everything that is cold, impersonal, and mass mechanistic about institutional schooling. The genius of homeschooling is in its total freedom from the doctrines of the professional education establishment. Our homeschooling community is alive with fresh new approaches and innovative materials for learning and teaching. We may voluntarily consult professionals or rely instead upon our own instincts and knowledge.
Accreditation depends on the rule of experts.
The strength of homeschooling is in it's general refusal to allow government to systematically dismantle our liberties and insinuate itself in the lives of our families. Accreditation schemes claim to be private and voluntary, but on closer inspection they are handmaidens of government.
