Homeschooling in Action
It is not what is poured into a student but what is planted that counts.
-Hildebrand
Homeschooling in Action
Our entire school system is based on the notion of passive students that must be "taught" if they are to learn. . . . Our country spends tens of billions of dollars each year not just giving students a second-rate education, but at the same time actively preventing them from getting an education on their own. And I'm angry at how school produces submissive students with battered egos. Most students have no idea of the true joys of learning, and of how much they can actually achieve on their own.
-Adam Robinson, co-founder of The Princeton Review
Homeschooling in Action
Homeschoolers know how to get close to their children. That's something every American family needs to relearn.
