4 Lessons I Learned from Sending My Children to School
April 23rd, 2012 | Author: admin
Last week, I stepped into very new and very uncomfortable territory: 3 of our 5 children went to school.
Before you think I've lost my marbles or have "seen the light" that public education is good for children (what light?), let me explain.
We are in Mexico. Yes, Mexico, the country, not New Mexico, but the "dangerous" country that makes the news for drug wars and violence. Except we haven't seen ANYTHING here like that propoganda on TV. But I digress…
I REFUSE to teach my children Latin
November 11th, 2011 | Author: admin
If you've been a long time reader, you know that I have no fondness for Latin. And I don't make any apologies for it. I think it is a foolish, time wasting thing to teach a child who is SO capable of learning a language, a dead language.
Yes, I've read the articles about how it teaches proper grammar, etc. I know it's part of numerous homeschool curricula packages, but don't forget that the people that publish these books aren't just doing it because they want your children to learn Latin…they make a living doing so. Not that there is anything wrong with selling homeschool curricula as a business, just something we often forget when people try to convince us that teaching something their way is the BEST way. And please note that I don't have any language curricula for sale.
