Arthur Robinson faced the problem of home schooling his 6 children after his wife died. He and the older children developed a curriculum, and are selling it on CD-ROM. It was designed to place the responsibility for learning mainly on the student, with a minimal involvement of the parents. The material covers up to high school, and includes mathematics up to calculus. The English and history reading material is for the most part based on books from the old days, before public education became corrupted, and includes the 1911 Britannica. http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com/ The one most important thing we can do for the educational system is to encourage "vouchers". Public education is too far gone to recover by itself, and we need to turn over school operation to the competition of private enterprise, while continuing to provide public financing for the benefit of children who cannot afford full private school tuition. Public schools could continue to exist for the benefit of dumb kids; that is their niche already. Also, vote NO on any tax proposals for public schools. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
