Homeschooling Thoughts

The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn.
-Cicero (Quoted by Montaigne)






Academies that are founded at public expense are instituted not so much to cultivate men's natural abilities as to restrain them.
-Baruch Spinoza (1632 - 1677)

Homeschooling parents can ignore what are for the most part government directives as to what shall be taught and when. Rather, parents and children can work together to develop courses of study that address long-term needs, interests, and capabilities in the context of what they, and not a bureaucracy of somewhat dubious credibility, deem important and necessary.
-David and Micki Colfax, "Homeschooling for Excellence"
