YOU, TOO, WILL LEARN

RELATED CONTENT

I found out when I was a child that being educated at home can have an important positive influence on a youngster. Years later — as an adult — I learned that a homeschooling parent can profit from the experience as well. And it's a small wonder that this is so . . . after all, when you teach your own children, you have a fascinating opportunity to make discoveries about the most complex instrument in the universe: the human mind.

EDITOR'S NOTE: A collection of severalother parents' experiences (both positive and negative) with home schooling can be found in Darcy Williamson's 91-page, large paperback book, School at Home: An Alternative to the Public School System (available from many good bookstores or — for $9.95 plus 95¢ shipping and handling — from Mother's Bookshelf, P.O. Box 70, Hendersonville, North Carolina 28791). MOTHER NO. 64, which contains the interview with John Holt, may be ordered — for $3.00 plus $1.00 shipping and handling — from THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS®, P.O. Box 70, Hendersonville, North Carolina 28791.
