“One of the first things I learned when I pulled my children out of public school and started teaching them at home was that parents are ultimately the people responsible for educating their children. As I mentioned earlier, they go along in life sending their children off to conventional school assuming their children would learn all they need to know and not worry about it again. It doesn’t always work that way. I now have nine children and through them I have learned that they don’t always catch on the same way. There are more ways to teach one concept to a child. … Children have different learning styles and we as parents have to figure out what that learning style is. Children who are labeled ‘a trouble maker’ or ‘learning disabled’ could actually be quite intelligent but just learn from a different approach.” (08/06)
