Victoria Carrington, M.D. writes: “I am becoming more aware of the push of education officials to remove children from their parents at even earlier ages to try to fix what is wrong with American education.
“Their scheme to get children into their system earlier will not work. As they try to distance parents from their young children, the same forces are claiming that our educational systems would be improved with greater parental involvement. And the trend of homeschooling is catching on across the country as even Ivy League schools recognize that children educated with intense involvement from parents is good for children’s learning.
“So if we look at what works in education, it seems to involve greater parental involvement, not increased involvement of educational institutions.”
This issue has been showing up more and more as I read my lists and blogs, and I think it’s one that should be of interest to all homeschooling parents. If you’re wondering why, click on the link above and do some reading.
I’ll be revisiting this topic often in the days and weeks ahead.
