I think it will continue to grow. At some point I'd expect a dramatic change, some kind of tipping point. Maybe we'll completely restructure public schools and go with something like vouchers.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Elizabeth for your kind words. Yes, we are trying to help our daughters learn to think, and to improve their ability to think.<BR/><BR/>Lydia, you make a great point.

When you see the things you experience in the context of history, or in the context of other world cultures, or scientific information, it means more to you than if you are just looking with your eyes. <BR/><BR/>I think there's a raccoon on the roof.

As a mother of two in my 10th official year of homeschooling, my goal is still the same as the day I started -- I strive to teach my children to <B>think</B>. If they can think, they can learn; they can contribute to society; they will find a way to achieve their goals and deal with whatever life throws at them.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896204624719588846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-66085805221015486922007-09-03T19:55:00.000-07:002007-09-03T19:55:00.000-07:00More Power...case in point: look at how much powe...More Power...case in point: look at how much power homeschoolers already wield. With only 2 to 4 percent of the population, homeschool laws tend to get laxer rather than stricter.<BR/><BR/>Educated, organized and not afraid to speak up...that is what any members of a movement need!Hanley Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363108115499781703noreply@blogger.com
