Playtime!
Apr 22, 2002, 16:19
I'm no expert on the subject but rather than running an intellectual hothouse and trying to get your kiddies into university before they're out of nappies, it might be nice to use the increased proportion of 'teacher time' they get devoted to them (so it presumably takes less time to learn the stuff) so that you could still take the same number of years but let them out to play for half the day instead.

Also, if you could find some like minded parents with kids of similar ages, doing it as a communal thing would avoid them ending up like the home schooled kids on South Park if anyone saw that episode, especially if the parents involved have a variety of backgrounds (arts, sciences and so on).

Estelle's comments about school only teaching you "how to survive incarceration with people who cannot be reasoned with" are true enough, but you shouldn't underestimate the value of this skill in later life ;)
