I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less "showily". Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself... Teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experiences.

Violet,

Excellent resources. While this link deals with Christian Schools, the information and Biblical reasons apply to Christian schools or home schooling.

here is a "thanks" to those who sacrifice to send their children to Christian schools, but can also be applied to those who teach and train their children at home:

God bless you both!
