In A Home School, The

Grades Don't Measure Anything Other Than Your Relevant Obedience To A Manager.

You Can Make Your Own Son Or Daughter One Of A Kind If You Have The Time And Will To Do So; School Can Only Make Them Part Of A Hive, Herd Or Anthill.

I've Noticed A Fascinating Phenomenon In My Twenty-five Years Of Teaching - That Schools And Schooling Are Increasingly Irrelevant To The Great Enterprises Of The Planet. No One Believes Anymore That Scientists Are Trained In Science Classes Or Politicians In Civics Classes Or Poets In English Classes. The Truth Is That Schools Don't Really Teach Anything Except How To Obey Orders.

You Need Experience, Adventure, And Explorations More Than You Need Algebra!

The Obligation To Amuse And Instruct Myself Was Entirely My Own, And People Who Didn't Know That Were Childish People, To Be Avoided If Possible. Certainly Not To Be Trusted.
