Leaping out of the Mainstream
Even the very best and brightest most compassionate teachers out there are
still saddled with a huge amount of responsibility as teachers in this country.
How can a teacher really engage 30 children on any appropriate level?
Kids need real connections. They need validation and they need the time
to foster their creativity and imaginations.
I just can't see how a school system is going to be able to compete with
a homeschooling situation unless the household is neglectful and abusive.
Schools today are far too similar to little mini prisons. What are the benefits
other than day care and increasing personal income at the expense of
a child's life?
It just isn't worth it.
Leaping out of the mainstream is the wise way to go. Developing discretion
and recognizing the lunacy of mainstream is the safest way to go.
Most people have fears and doubts but they need not stop us from doing the right thing.
