Did you say froggy or groggy?

The more perspectives a student is exposed to the more able they must be to critically examine them and make an assessment. There are more perspectives available to a student in a public school than in their home. In the handful of home-schooled people I have known and worked with, their relatively narrow range of experinces has made a noticeable impact. That is all I am saying, folks. It is an honest observation. Sorry if that makes some people feel uncomfortable.

NDD, you are right, kids do progress at different rates, which lays open the possibility that a child will learn not only from their teachers and their parents but also from other students (both inside and outside the classroom).
