Do you have more freedom in choosi...Thirty Years... Do you have more freedom in choosing curriculum than a public school might have? I know the teachers at our local school complain at how their hands are tied in so many ways... how they may not use this or that great piece of literature because it is not "politically correct". <BR/><BR/>I don't think the wheel needs to be reinvented, but I find the cookie cutter education the local public schools around us are giving to be quite tiresome. I keep running into teenagers with the exact same worldview as the teen next to them. They have the same "boxed & packaged" way of thinking, and it's a bit disconcerting to think the schools just pumping out these robots that think the exact same way as the school system.<BR/><BR/>I'm also curious as to what you mean by the "restrictive" setting of the home. Homeschoolers don't stay home for school. We have science lessons in our meadow and creek... we meet at each other's homes for co-ops and "cottage school" type classes. We have history in the park or at the museum... on a whim we can take a field trip out of state to a historical monument... without having to fill out forms in triplicate in order to ask our principal's permission. Our brief stint with public schools this year felt very oppressive and restrictive to us.Hindsfeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828393609341080833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966015.post-1126722963390674742005-09-14T11:36:00.000-07:002005-09-14T11:36:00.000-07:00So true!How exciting that your mom is coming to vi...So true!<BR/><BR/>How exciting that your mom is coming to visit!
