Homeschooling in Action
Our tightly controlled educational system mocks the promise of democracy. With a closed educational system we simply cannot have an open political system. The current situation allows the government and big business to manufacture and maintain our culture for us, and in turn, control remains in the hands of the experts and institutions. The ability to change this situation is in the hands of the individuals and families who understand why change is necessary.
-Helen Hegener, in "Alternatives in Education"

Many parents discover that their homeschool improves when they decide to learn something new themselves and work on it. They set a good example for their child, of course, but they also gain insights into the learning process when they ask themselves: What helped me the most? What interfered with my learning?

My job is not to teach at all, but to find the opportunities for my kids to learn. NOT knowing something can be an advantage, as it reminds me of the wealth of resources out there in the community and world, if only we are willing to go look for them.
