Aug 11 2011: I homeschool because I wanted to deviate from the system of competition. MY kids did very well and received honors while still in the regular school. Have they learned anything? Maybe, but the focus turned to 'studying harder' to maintain their status. They forget that learning is supposed to be fun and applicable. They wasted years on making the grade. Zero values. All in middle school and high school, I don't grade, mistakes are explained and taught that its a learning experience...failure is non existent. They are more relaxed and confident with work.
