Regarding your comments on the Empire's education system, this past Saturday I had the pleasure of having a chat with an eight year old boy from the local sailing club. His parents are a fine couple, they have 4 boys ranging from 5 to 15 years. What struck me most about my discussion with the eight year old was his knowledge, command of the language, and excellent ability to stay focused and listen. He and his brothers are home schooled. The impact of his parents commitment was a beautiful experience for me. The boys are all well mannered and genuinely enjoy each others company. In addition to the home schooling, their television, computer usage and video game time is limited by their parents. They regularly spend time in the outdoors, whether it be sailing, or simply hiking through local parks and forests. Their diet consists of whole foods, raw milk, and I suspect pure, non-fluoridated water. I would not label the parents as wealthy, but very middle class. Rather than extravagant cars, clothes or homes, the parents have clearly applied their time and resources into properly educating and nourishing their children. What a wonderful experience it was indeed.
Homeschooling heeft de toekomst, en die begint.. alweer.. in de VS.
