I’m always a bit skeptical when I see something titled “7 Science-Based Parenting Practices” but I found this Forbes article quite thoughtful.
Over at Love, Joy, Feminism, Libby Ann asks whose opinion should count when it comes to homeschooling practices…the parents doing it or the kids who lived it. An interesting look in to the politics of religious based homeschooling standards.
