DOMESTIC EDUCATION IS THE INSTITUTION OF NATURE
Homeschooling is nothing new, and its benefits have been long understood. In fact, In The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1790), Adam Smith advocated it as far more important. The education of boys at distant great schools, of young men at distant colleges, … Continue reading
