Is a Public School Education Even Worth It?
By Laura | February 7, 2009
This video puts a lot of perspective on how fast your society is progressing. It makes me wonder whether it’s worth cramming our children’s brains with knowledge that will be useless within only a few years. There will always be a need for basics, but why instill an education in technology for things that won’t even exist in 5 years?
Thus comes my firm belief that teaching HOW to learn and how to research is more valuable than actually memorizing facts and functions that will be useless later on. Let them learn it when it’s relevant. Watch the video and share your own thoughts on this subject!

What a great presentation – it puts into convenient video form what I’ve spent months trying to figure out how to say, when people ask me why we homeschool.
Kids don’t need to memorize facts, they need to figure out what turns them on to learning!
I can tell that I’m going to enjoy your blog – thank you for this post.
