Homeschooling Thoughts

After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well.
- Albert Einstein





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







Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.
-Isaac Asimov
