I'm just going to accept the fact that my blog posts are never going to be like the organized, thought out, flowing and connected posts a lot of us are used to reading. I hope you can accept that, too. It will probably just be snippets here and there about some of the stuff I'm learning on my path to help my children gain their own educations.
Here is an interesting couple of lists. Which one are you aiming for with your kids and what kind of educational atmosphere do they line up with for you?
Type A
rote thinking
conformity
fitting in
submissive obedience to superiors
memorized "correct" answers
clique socialization
employee mentality
Type B
great lessons of history
classics in all fields
abilities/skills of creativity
ingenuity
independent/analytical thinking
persuasive communication
artistic/technological innovation
entrepreneurial initiative
service and leadership
I hope I can create the best combination of homeschooling, charter schooling, public schooling, etc. to help each of my kids in their own individual way learn what, how and when they need to.
