Homeschooling in Action

Sometimes, in spite of my efforts, I am mistaken for a leader and expected to act in a leaderly fashion. I beg off by saying that even after a half century on earth I'm still trying to get a handle on managing my own life, and do not yet feel capable of managing anyone else's. It sounds like modesty, but it is really self-interest. I notice that, in general, leaders have less time for things that are important like gardening and fishing, and they spend too much time arguing on the telephone, which can't be good for their digestion.
-Earl Gary Stevens, Home Education Magazine, 1995

Many parents find that listening to their child is one of the most important things they do. It provides clues and insights into how he thinks, what interests him, what he has learned, what his concerns are, etc. It helps parents figure out how to help their children learn.

It is not what is poured into a student but what is planted that counts.
