Very interesting. Particularly the difference in the middle to upper income kids vs low income.

"I personally feel children need the nurture of their parents and the home," she said. "Those early years, that's when they are bonding to their family. That nurturing, only the family can give that."

I tend to agree.

"For the same reason we care about the blind kids even though the sighted population is much larger, the quadraplegic kids even though the able-bodied population is much larger, the non-English speaking kids even though the English-speaking population is much larger. Because we are supposed to be committed to providing a quality education to EACH child, no matter which subset of the population that child happens to fall into. Because it's very stupid, in the long run, to allow children to fall through social and educational cracks."

Well said lois.

"I'm truly sorry they neglected you so. I really am. Shameful."

I agree. It is shameful.

So you are just following the crowd and doing what is popular, convenient and traditional?


The advertising dollars, I guess are well spent on you.

But to understand the differences and respect those differences don't you have to know why there are differences?

Ok so what's the difference between time spent "unschooled" and free time?
