We homeschool, and it's amazing how much I didn't learn in "public" school. I am learning every day! I heard once that you don't teach your kids information, you teach them how to learn for themselves. So far it's been working well. They are great at figuring out things for themselves without being "told" what to think. If they ask me a question I don't know the answer to, I tell them "great question! Let's go find the answer" and we do. That's what learning is. Oh, also teaching them about finances, car maintenance, house maintenance, taking them outdoors, learning about trees and animals... all worthwhile school. Best job I've ever had!
