Reality is he is there to conform and the learning and friend making is not happening. He is not yet six. He is losing his spunk and I have considered home schooling him only the last few days. No idea what i might be getting into but surely its better torchering him to comply. I complied all my life and just now at 40 have realised I want a self directed adulthood for my child. I am only getting to my self direction now. So who do I listen to? My heart, or everyother conformist? This helps solidify what i feel and will be passing it on to naysayers. Thanks for writing it. Thank God,

In my opinion and experiemce as mum, homeschooling parent, and lecturer in biological science and trainer of teacher,.. this is the best thing you have shown on your site. Beyond this,wait till your kids get to the best university in the country too and after that...I question the benefit of shepherding your kids into old establishment values and pursuits, mainly I urge freedom and time to enjoy and know the world and themselves, to escape the nerdish narrowness of the bonsaied products of schooling early reading hurdle jumping parent and teacher pleasing activities. Studies of the old vested culture and values and the current marketed stuff have produced what we see around us. Thank you.
