Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore are considered "pioneers" in the homeschooling movement, and certified teachers. I am reading their book "Home style Teaching" right now
Here are a couple of quotes that I thought were good to share:
~When you are convinced that a student knows a subject thoroughly, you will
not dog him with more assignments nor try to make him regurgitate mental food he has already digested. Great education calls for few work-books.~
Home style Teaching, pg 21~ Many teachers thoughtlessly conclude that all children in the same class or of the same age should learn the same amount of the same things about the same time and that they will come off the assembly line in about the same shapes with about the same equipment. It never occurs to them that some youngsters are "triangular," some are "cylindrical," some are "rectangular," and some are oddly shaped. But they try to drive them all through the same "square" hole.~
Home style Teaching, pg 30
