jsdowney… There is a whole different paradigm out there that ought to be explored, particularly sooner rather than later, by doing maybe experiments like you lay out. Its kind of morphing a school to the library/YMCA model.

I’m right with you on the third way, and often feel quite alone in my thinking. I appreciate the time you’re devoting to developing your thoughts in this area! I often fantasize about my small city agreeing to try one year of non-compulsory education in one school. By that I mean, parents could still send their kids to school, but instead of requirements, the school experience would be based on “offerings”. Certain offerings could even have requirements attached to them: i.e. if a child chooses to sign up to take part in a week-long science project on mold, whomever is leading the experience can make a child’s commitment to attending all five days of the experiment a condition for taking part at all. With students CHOOSING to come to school and take part in activities, teachers mind just find their love of sharing knowledge and skills roaring back!

Lydia… I would love it if you would say more about your homeschool experience and the reason for your preference for regular schools.
