I hear the arguement against homeschooling. And one of the reasons a person gives is that kids need to learn biology, chemistry, algebra, geometry, french and ancient history, and that the average parent couldn't possibly teach all of those. Do you think that maybe the reason the average parent couldn't teach all of those is because the average person doesn't use all of those? If a child was interested in one of those fields wouldn't it make more sense to concentrate on that which the child is interested in and will use in their life, rather than trying to learn a whole lot of irrelevant information?
Just wondering?
