Astra Taylor on the Unschooled Life
Submitted by American Christian on Mon, 11/26/2012 - 07:15Haven't yet made it to the 20 minute mark but was excited enough about this to want to share it while viewing myself:
Astra states that Harper's Magazine supported Brown University's Alumni Dean's exclamation that homeschooled students are "self directed, take risks and don't back off" in reporting that 1 in 3 American adults believe that government and politics are too complicated to understand. In contrast an American who was homeschooled agreeing with that statement was only 1 in 25.

As more and more homeschooled kids
enter the population, people will begin to realize that the "un-socialized freek" myth is just that, a myth. Some of the greatest thinkers in history were homeschooled. Anyone who can not see the benefits of a customized education, private tutelgae, and freedom from peer pressure to be one's own self, has blinders on.
These kids are exceptional if only because they have not been beaten up by the system requiring 8+ hours a day of having to being around the same age group and having to conform or be cast out (a little homage to Rush...awesome tune).
Don't listen to the lying propaganda...get to know some of these kids, for the most part you will be very impressed.
The law cannot make a wicked person virtuous…God’s grace alone can accomplish such a thing.
