Article on unschooling I recently read on USA Today...

Just don't read the comments section below the article if you don't want to be brought down by rigid people who can't think outside the box. Amazes me how someone can think spending MORE time with your kids and engaging with them on a deeper level, exporing interests and finding resources for them is....::Child Abuse::!!! Yet sending your kids to the government-run institution and ignoring them most of the day, only to yell at them to do their homework...that is the way we should all do it, right??? Teach them they don't have a say in their own life....anything else is child abuse I guess. I think people with that mentality feel like they have no say in how their own life is run as an adult...and feel the need for everyone to feel how they do. What a sad life to live. Phew....breathe in....breathe out....breathe in....breathe out..... Aaah, better now.
