Though I disagree with much in this article, I can see some of the reasoning. I agree that parents need to take more of a role in their children's lives (in US anyway). School is meant to teach some very specific skills, but it by no means is meant to raise your child. But you also learn other things in school... And I agree it can be more efficient to tailor a curriculum to a child...if your goal is to only learn that one thing. What they'll miss is how to tolerate and work with other, very different people. Traveling is great too, you can learn a lot, more people in the US should do it.<p>However, I worry about abandoning the system and isolation. There's already large politic, social, etc divides, I think this will make them worse.<p>Also, a call to be more like the prosperity when our founding fathers time? Please..that's a sheathed call for racism, slavery, and all sorts of persecution.
