I am a homeschool mom of two boys and another boy on the way. The enemy has been tempting me to give up, get stressed, get aggrivated (at everything), and submit to a stern educational book yielding homeschool setting. I have been struggling with this, since I have every desire to let my children be outside, build with their hands, learn to cook, and cultivate, and many of the things you stated in your article. I am convicted and relieved to know that through my bible study last night and this article that I am indeed free in Jesus Christ and that I don't belong to this world that I only live in it. So I have no need to adhere to the expectations of the world. I sometimes forget and I get caught up in the lies that educators and schools tell us through friendships with those attending those schools, that their kids will do better and are more advanced then my lowely homeschooled boys. Wow, a weight has been lifted and I am feeling a renewed calm in my mind and in my heart about this thing we do called "homeschool". So thank you again and may our Lord and Savior continue to bless you. I am thankful for this article. I am a homeschool mom of two boys and another boy on the way.

The best on this site. It has revolutionized my thoughts entirely on how I will educate my children. As a product of God-centered homeschool with rigid adherence to tests and textbooks that I completely forgot unless it was a paper I had to write and create. For my family there will be radically different methods of education than the current status quo. Thank you for this article! The best on this site.

I read it often. Since Michael Pearl has written the article, the economy has in fact collapsed and there are many well educated corporate executives without jobs. They, in fact, don't know how to survive now and their wives wouldn't even know how to make beans if they needed a cheap meal. I LOVE this article…it’s one of my favorites. I read it often.
