justamouse Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Penelope Trunk decided to homeschool. I bet she's going to have some fantastic ideas. I doubt she'll be a classical homeschooler, though. Blog post 10. Homeschool. Your kids will be screwed if you don't.The world will not look kindly on people who put their kids into public school. We all know that learning is best when it's customized to the child and we all know that public schools are not able to do that effectively. And the truly game-changing private schools cost $40,000 a year. It's clear is that homeschooled kids will rule the world when Generation Z enters the workplace. So figure out a way to alleviate mommy guilt by homeschooling your kids to get them on that path. You don't have to do the teaching yourself. You can pay someone. But you need to get your kids out of a system that everyone knows does not work. (Note: I just realized this. This month. And last week, I decided: I'm taking my kids out of school.)

JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Note to self: Must be careful, read Generation Z and immediately thought of World War Z. Surely there is no connection.:D On a serious note-who is Penelope Trunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
