I think perhaps the simplest way to sum up my thoughts is with a quote from my mother in law. She is a teacher in the public school system, has been for twenty years. She teaches the elementary age gifted program, and she says her goal is to teach them "How to think, not what to think."
How beautiful is that?
My memories, and my parent's passion, as I grew up as a homeschooler myself definitely define me as a mother and teacher.
The school room setting, the curriculum chosen, the amount of time spent at a desk versus participating in hands-on activities; all of that fades away when you consider the forming of a child's mind.
"How to think, not what to think."
