Someone sent us an email a while back pointing out that our list included slaves and that those people did not really have any other option for education. |
"While I applaud your zeal and inclusiveness, how can you list former slaves on your list? Their circumstances were hardly a matter of choice."
The letter-writer missed the point. This is what homeschooling is about! Irrespective of circumstances, background, race, poverty, wealth, skin color, tradition, culture, religion, by choice or not by choice, home-education produces literate people.
