Honoring Their Special Needs Through Homeschooling
Our society
respects adults who think differently and take risks to become our
inventors, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Often these are people who
discovered inborn talents through their interests, honing them until
they became very good at something others either can't do or never
thought to do. If we extended the same approval of unique thinking and
nurturing of inherent talent in our children, would we persist in
expecting them all to learn the same thing in the same way at the same
time during their school years?
