- Common Objections to Homeschooling
- By John Holt. Hosted by The Natural Child Project.
"... most of what happens in school makes children feel ... stupid, incompetent, ashamed. Distrusting and despising themselves, they then try to make themselves feel a little better by finding others whom they can look down on even more - poorer children, children from other races, children who do less well in school." - Family Christian Academy Forum (*)

- How does homeschooling work?
- "Here's a funny thing about education -- it comes in all shapes and sizes. When you get curious about something and come to a place like How Stuff Works to learn about it, you are participating in a form of homeschooling. This is sometimes called interest-motivated education or self-motivated education. You get interested in something for whatever reason, that interest motivates you to learn about it, and you do learn about it by doing your own research."
