***But they don't need it given to them. As I said, they need some help or guidance. *Some* being the operative word.
Walking is a physical skill. Most any primate learns on its own.
Talking may well be learned without instruction but the result may be
unnaccepatable. To talk with acceptable grammar we need to either hear
it or read it or be taught it.
"How shall we do that?"
To what does this relate?
***Sorry, the "can't afford" argument carries no weight. Absolutely everything and its uncle is available FREE! Plus, factor in the amount of money it takes to get a kid to school. New school clothes, transportation, meals, supplies. Just put that money to use in the home.
Great. What if the parents don't have or can't afford the tools?
***What? You seriously think that only the "above average" are successfully homeschooling? And by whose yardstick are you messuring "above average"? Sorry, it doesn't take Einstein or a millionaire to homeschool. It takes determination.
All levels of society? Seems to me that parents who make the choice to
homeschool are above average.
So, just turn them free and believe and hope for the best.***Not what I said.
AFTER we have become mature.***Yet you are perfectly comfortable with the public school system which is a dismal failure at everything education and only really successful in its real goal -- sheople and consumerism.
I don't find it incomprehensible. I find it questionable that all
parents can do it successfully.
***O.K., so? I'm sure at some point when you lived in the Bay Area, you must have driven through or by Richmond and Point Richmond. Would that be one of those examples you'd like me to walk through?
How many examples do you need? Walk through any housing project for
starters. Then walk through the barrios. Then observe the home lives
of children whose parents are working minimum-wage jobs. All children
deserve the opportunity to rise above their beginnings.
