Well said, I totally agree . . . home education is about being practical and about being a leader, a reformer.

Your concept reminds me a bit of "practical wisdom" http://www.quaqua.org/practicalwisdom.htm and the Benjamin Franklin example http://www.quaqua.org/franklin.htm -- It is not enough to cope in the world as it is, we must change what the world becomes.

Dear Greg, I enjoyed your post. I had just posted a long blog entry today on socialization of homeschooled children and was wondering what else bloggers are saying on the subject. I found your blog entry (and your entire blog) by a technorati.com search.

I was surprised to see your blog as I have heard your name mentioned so many times, at seminars at Christian homeschooling conferences. It was just surprising to see Greg Harris' blog come up. I didn't know you had a blog!

I enjoyed your blog entry and the Bible quote about socialization. I love what you say about the goal of homeschooling. I am glad that you are talking about academics as not being the main goal of homeschooling. While superior academics was the hook that drew my husband to consider homeschooling for our family, it is now not our main goal. Turning out good, decent people who are overall sincere and genuine people, who know how to treat others with respect, to know right from wrong, to be able to act independently and to have the ability to make good decisions, is a higher goal than academic pursuits.

Have a great day!
