It's possible that you've miscomprehended their statement. I took it to mean that they didn't focus on the academics as a measure of success, but instead set out to raise their child to be a good adult. I suspect that knowledgeability came as a result of this, regardless. The world is full of intelligent assholes, why would we want to create more?
"Good person" comes as a result of being around good people you respect or trust.
That's a natural occurrence in a "good" household. Education is not.
"Knowledgeabilty" does not just happen because you are a good person/parent/etc...
create more..
Now you are making assumptions and misinterpreting. When my children are "at school" that is their focus. They get all the coaching and mentorship on being a "good person" when they aren't at school.
I tell them "My jaw doesn't hit the floor because you do the right thing. However, you will hit the floor if you are doing the wrong thing."
Him disregarding Academics in Home School is like taking a bath without water.
