How did your child(ren) learn to walk and talk? Did you help by being
available or did you do it all for them?
For starters, you stop *giving* people things and start making them *earn*
them.
Give them the tools instead of simply doing things for them.
As to homeschooling. LOTS of folks work and homeschool! Lots!
"incapable of understanding or guiding the process" That's right back to
the thinking that got us in this mess to begin with. If public school is
working so well and the government is working so well, then why would you
think that the products of that system wouldn't be capable of understanding
or replicating the "process." Not, mind you, that I think the process needs
to be either understood or used!
Gene, and others, why is that when you need to do something or learn
something you seem to have no problem finding what you need to teach
yourself what you need to know or find someone to help you do it
and yet you
find it incomprehensible that children, who are a whole lot smarter than the
tired old brains of older folks, are capable of doing the same?
Or that
parents, once all the nanny state crap is removed, won't just stand up and
do what needs to be done?
