Home Education

I wanted to share a post a just read on A Heart Like Water, a blog I frequent from time to time. The quote is by John Holt. It is about home education and it really speaks to my heart on the matter.

"I don't see homeschooling as some kind of answer to badness of schools. I think that the home is the proper base for the exploration of the world which we call learning or education. Home would be the best base no matter how good the schools were. The proper relationship of the schools to home is the relationship of the library to home, or the skating rink to home. It is a supplementary resource." - John Holt


Have a blessed day!
