Homeschooling in Action

The crazy combative patriotism that plainly threatens to destroy civilization is very largely begotten by the schoolmaster and the schoolmistress in their history lessons. They take the growing mind at a naturally barbaric phase and inflame it and fix its barbarism.
-George Herbert Wells, in "The Informative Content of Education"

Homeschooling in Action

If you live in a material universe where acquiring things is very important to you, then family is an absolute deterrent to maintaining that sort of a world, because family involves values like affection, and sympathy, and passion, and types of pleasure that lead nowhere in a material sense. John Taylor Gatto, in "Alternatives in Education"

For all of the virtues required in the art of childrearing, none is more important - and none rarer - than patience, in parents, in family, in friends; patience to allow the miracle of human development to unfold according to its own internal laws, from birth through infancy and childhood and youth, and even till the moment of death.
- Daniel Greenberg, in "Child Rearing"
