CoulsonAt the Techonomy conference last week, Bill Gates declared that going to school would soon be obsolete, and that ”five years from now, on the web, for free, you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world.” What’s interesting is that Bill was quick to note that he was talking only of higher education. K-12 education should still be tied to physical schools, he is reported to have added. Certainly there’s a custodial aspect to the education of young children, but there’s no reason that electronic learning options cannot be combined with custodial supervision — and much more affordably than traditional schooling. Homeschooling already consists of hybrids of parent lessons, lessons taught by paid tutors and guest lecturers, web cl...

He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); an extended absence and a gradual return to school were recommended by the doctor, and Loiacono requested home instruction from the Houston School District. Terri Mauro at Parenting Special Children notes that this then happened: The district countered with two choices for his mother: Get him back into school full-time now, or sign him out for good and homeschool him yourself. When she agreed to neither, she was arrested for violating truancy laws. Loiacono was arrested on May 18th by the Houston County Sheriff’s office; her case against the Houston School District has been going on for over a year. She presents her case on her w...

[because] she was always so true and so sure of me... And always made me feel I had someone to live for and must not disappoint."He did not talk until he was almost 4 years of age, and his self-centered behavior, hyperactivity, and relentless questioning led his teacher to blurt out that he thought this man's brain's were addled. His mother was so angry, she pulled him out of school to tutor him at home. His father bribed him read some of the classics, offering him ten cents for each one he was able to complete. He would begin to voraciously read books and recite poetry, and then he discovered he enjoyed science and was clever at mechanical things.Who was this? This was Thomas Edison, the Wizard of Menlo Park, and one of the most prol...

Like a chess player, you always have to be thinking ahead about possible future states, your possible reactions to them, and the possible consequences of those reactions. So although our present plan is to stay the course and try to work with our local public school educators to school Buddy Boy, we realize that that is subject to change at any time.We've looked at private schools in our neck of the woods, and at least for now, none are appropriate for Buddy Boy, or the ones we feel are, aren't willing to take him on at present.So rather than just hope for the best, we also have a "Plan B", which for now is home schooling.Last year we exercised this option when things were spinning out of co...
