All Homeschooling Mom Learning Teaching

When The Earth Was Flat: One Boy's Life at the Edge of the Millennium Quotes

“My mom, who was likely not “qualified” to conduct our educations (in terms of public schooling standards), understood the value in these lessons. Her bravery in pursuing our homeschooling path cannot be overstated…Some ponytailed, white, Buddhist social studies teacher could have never made me love Japanese people as much as I loved Bachon, her daughter and my brother.…The positive influence of almost daily contact with the elderly, learning their secrets and traditions brought from their countries of origins, has meant the world to me. I learned from all of this that it sin’t difficult to love one another when we are exposed to the genuineness of individual persons. And isn’t it wonderful to consider that we all walk this earth as foreigners— and on this journey, we learn how to love the foreign as God loves us.”
