11/24 Great School Debate
Quote From: bobbybillI want my kids to be able to do whatever will make them happy as adults, be that medicine, programming, styling hair or flipping burgers. By unschooling we are protecting their love of learning alive and their confidence in their own abilities. This will help them more than anything else when it comes time to acquire whatever skills are necessary for what they want to accomplish. I still can't help but wonder what would happen if at age 18 your child decided he wanted to go to college. Let say he wanted to go to medical school. If he doesn't decide that until 18, are you at all concerned that he would not have the math and science skills necessary to pass the admittance tests. Kids change their minds all the time as to what they want. Do you provide ANY direction while they are young and don't have a full sense of what their talents and desires might be later in life?
