– rather to improve our minds, so as to enable
us to think for ourselves, than to load the
memory with the thoughts of other men.”

“We can get too easily bogged down in the
academic part of homeschooling, a relatively
minor part of the whole, which is to raise
competent, caring, literate, happy people.”

“You will not reap the fruit of individuality in your children if you clone their education.”
– Marilyn Howshall
“As regards moral courage, then, it is not so much that the public schools support it feebly, as that they suppress it firmly.”
