Every homeschooling parent who was educated in the current system will have difficulty homeschooling a child. The degree of difficulty will be directly related to how much a previously educated homeschooling parent is able to perceive his or her own damages and limitations. The more unable a previously educated parent is to perceive his or her own damages and limitations, the more limited the parent is in being able to respond to the natural needs and interests of his or her children. Recognizing one's own damages and limitations is no easy task. Because of the unique way in which current educational practices destroy tile human mental apparatus, most people have difficulty being able to perceive any of the harm which they have incurred in school.
Many people mistakenly assume that if they did well in school, they managed to escape harm.
According to our research, the exact opposite is true. The more successful a person was in school and the better his or her grades, the more harm he or she incurred and the less he or she is able to perceive the harm that was done. While there is nothing that can be done to repair the mental and emotional apparatus once a person has been exposed to school past the end of the second grade, in the course of our research we have discovered some things about how people learn and how people do not learn which may be helpful to homeschooling parents. Although our research sample was limited in number, we believe that some of what we discovered can be applied to a larger population. We hope that this information may help homeschooling parents to bridge this gap between the natural, healthy needs and learning systems of their undamaged children and their own limited secondary personality structures.
