Atheist Homeschool

We used to be into the classical education. Raising deep thinkers by deliberately exposing them to classic literature and thoughtful books written a long time ago. I wondered, occasionally, if they would be unprepared for the modern world. Luckily, they didn’t take to well to forced literature, they ended up choosing their own books to read. We still had deep discussions about the characters, their moral standpoint, their world views, the authors and the setting of each book and after reading A Thomas Jefferson Education, I can see that we were doing it right all along. Even though that book is written by an author with some extremely silly religious views, the information and suggestions for mentoring an education are worthwhile, and reaffirm the fact that constant loving communication, and being respectful of the child’s ideas and perspectives is important.
