Lana, I love the effect homeschooling had on my two youngest children. They are able to think creatively and independently, whereas schooled children seem to think in the mainstream, peer-pressured way that they’re brainwashed into by public schooling.

The herd mentality and standardized teaching may produce some kids that know a lot, but it also produces a lot of kids who couldn’t keep up and therefore developed low self-esteem and frustration that spills out in anti-social behaviors.

My only regret is that I didn’t completely unschool the kids. If I had it to do over again, I probably would.
