Hi all,
I love this show, and I’d like you to talk a bit more about homeschooling, once you are educated a bit more on the subject (I’m not being snarky, you’ve said you don’t know much about it.)
Anyway, this is an interesting article written by teacher of the year in 1990, in NY. What do you think about it?

Thanks Alex
Hi Alejandro,
I actually have the book this article was based on. However, I have only browsed the chapters. My thoughts on the school system are not always popular at my school site. I do stir the pot and try to get the administration and other teachers to make changes to the conventional thinking.
We will chat about homeschooling in the future. I have seen some changes over the last few years in how homeschooling is done. I like what I have seen and will look into the system more so that we can chat.
