From the archives: reason to homeschool - to teach our children to be doers

I like this thought by Thomas Sowell from his column five years ago Talkers versus doers:

----------
The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers.
Think about the things that have improved our lives the most over the past century -- medical advances, the transportation revolution, huge increases in consumer goods, dramatic improvements in housing, the computer revolution. The people who created these things -- the doers -- are not popular heroes. Our heroes are the talkers who complain about the doers.
----------

One of the nice things about homeschooling is we can teach our children to be doers.
