The kids I've been looking at see life in a totally different way than my generation. Take the notion of family for instance. They like theirs. They even like their siblings. They see the role of parents as teachers and mentors and friends.
School happens around the kitchen table or in a carpenter's shop that dad fixed up in the basement.
Although that's okay, too. And most of them will homeschool their own children without a second thought. I guess the only difficult part is that these homeschooled kids are so independent. It was painful. Then we bought our first pair of inline skates.
