I greatly enjoyed Chunka Mui’s intelligent, thoughtful discussion of his experience as a homeschooling parent. I don’t need to tell you, I hope, that homeschooling is not the right solution for everyone, a point that Mui acknowledges in his post. Regardless, I think that all parents would profit from embracing at least some aspects of Mui’s approach, which is centered on the idea that learning should be self-directed to a greater degree than is true in conventional schools.
