Not being in school permits us to up and leave when we want to. We like to travel, not the resort type travel, but the backpacking variety travel. Our son now joins us on these treks, receiving a more multicultural education than school can ever provide. Acceptance was unquestionned and total. This is multicultural education.
School prepares children for the job market.
Moreover, our society is becoming increasingly global. We are interacting with people across continents, using tools like the internet, television, etc. Global mindedness is openness to other cultures and their customs. Jobs are no longer secure niches where one receives a handshake and gold watch after thirty years of devoted service. Rather, the current job market mandates that people be entrepreneurial and self-promoting.
