PART FOUR: Dropouts Are Dead Ducks?
Branson's walkabout, and the dirt-farmer savvy of Shen Wenrong, are things more easily achieved outside school than in, which is the common historical experience of mankind and which helps to explain why it took almost all of recorded history before factory schooling came about.

You Were Homeschooled? By Bailey Vincent Clark, Freelance Writer, Health Columnist, and Student for Life
"You were homeschooled?" On any given day, this is the response heard most often from flabbergasted friends and strangers, upon hearing of my seemingly surprising education. Perhaps the fact that I'm not donned in bonnet and pigtails reenacting a scene from Little House on the Prairie (I always preferred Little Women), or speaking in alien tongues from inside my vacuum sealed bubble (alien interests aside), might throw the average Joe for a loop.

Teaching Basic Economics to Fifth Graders (10-11-year-olds) By Arthur Foulkes
"But when are you going to get to the economics?"
It was the end of my first day volunteering to teach "basic economics" to a group of fifth graders. The teacher looked bemused as she asked the question. "That's what I'm doing," I whispered a little curtly in reply.
