WHEN does not make prescriptions as to what subjects children should familiarize with. The very idea that some subjects are basic, that some are the foundation for further development, that very idea is wrong, it is a fabrication of the evil school system that seggragates children according to age and teaches different lessons for each age group, pretending that one is somehow a prerequisite for the other. There is no single subject that is more basic than any other subject. Children progress best if they can experiment, improvise, act spontaneously and, of course, are encouraged in this and not bullied, punished and humiliated by teachers and other kids. Shake off that evil smell of the basics, it only cloaks parents in the darkness of the past, going way back into the medieval mentality that schoolmasters like to dwell in.
School prevents development of the right hemisphere of the brain.
WHEN argues that, in future, there will be plenty of nerds that can calculate and apply tautological logic, but there will be no demand for their outdated skills. C. Stop looking up to academic qualifications. WHEN does not argue that home education is always the best solution for all families. WHEN merely argues that homeschooling should not be regarded as inferior compared to school. Society looks up to academic qualifications as something superior.
