I still remember one of my first days of homeschooling. My daughter was in the beginnings of the fourth grade. We were studying Science together. So I asked her, "What do you think it means?"
My daughter was silent for a very long time. Then I stopped and looked up at her. Her dark eyes were wide open like she was a dear in the headlines. In a panic, "What's wrong dear?"
Thoughtfully, my daughter glanced at her hands and she replied, " No one has ever asked me what I thought before...." And that, my friends, is why I homeschool. I want to have a kid who thinks for herself.
