What we want to see is the child in pursuit of knowledge, not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
- George Bernard Shaw

Homeschooling in Action

When they learn in their own way and for their own reasons, children learn so much more rapidly and effectively than we could possibly teach them, that we can afford to throw away our curricula and our timetables, and set them free, at least most of the time, to learn on their own.
- Holt

Homeschooling in Action

Who does not recall school at least in part as endless dreary hours of boredom punctuated by moments of high anxiety?
