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.

About This Quote

In homeschooling, you must also consider the role of academics. The academics you choose to teach your child are just as important as what you teach your child from a curriculum. You must use a curriculum that your child can grasp and can easily absorb and integrate into his or her life. You must also choose the right type of academia: classical academia or alternative academia. Your choice should be made based on your unique situation and what you want out of teaching your child.
