Classical/ Calvert and the like

Forgive more rambles but...
I remember hearing about a parent who homeschooled several of her kids
through school to graduate very early. This intense school-at-home
prepaired them for college early and then the kids went into...guess
what?! Teaching/Academia.
What else do they know??
With all due respect to the really good teachers out there, this
reminded me of the saying "Those who can DO. those who can't teach!
I wonder what Susan (of TWTM) would be doing if she had been unschooled.
Good Luck Sandra. "Knock em dead"

My fil went to college to be an engineer. (became one and worked in the
field for years.) He always said that many of the people who couldn't make
it in the engineer program dropped out and went into the teaching program
and became teachers. He is very supportive of homeschooling.

My father started going to Cooper Union to go into engineering. By this time
he had already been working hands on with electronics for a few years, so
had practical experience. Within 1 semester he dropped out because the
curriculum was memorization of facts instead of teaching the students WHERE
to find the info when they need it. He found it to be a huge waste of
time...ended up working for IBM for a number of years and had his own
computer consulting business' on and off over the years. All self taught. He
is also a supporter of homeschooling and now after a visit (he and my mother
live in the Gambia) with face to face discussion of unschooling he is a
supporter of this method as well.
The funny thing is that although he was proud of me for getting a Masters in
secondary ed/English I think he always had that attitude re: those who can
do; those who can't, teach.
Life is about growth and change...and I love my children enough to let them
grow their own way:)
