Hm...1999...so Greta's now 14....pregnant and living with daddy on a religious commune....

There's a few parents who practice "unschooling" with their kids. They are not the same as homeschooling, which typically follows some sort of structure and the kids may take state-backed testing. Unschooling is totally unstructured "on a need to know basis" philosophy. Kid doesn't like numbers, ok, don't learn'em.

How many of us here went to some sort of school in a brick and mortar institution and are certifiably bonkers and ignorant as a result? OK, besides me.....
If the writer is so disillusioned with the teaching system, he shouldn't be in it. That's part of the problem with school-too many teachers who think they're wasting their time. They're wrong-they're wasting the kids' time.
