Public Schooling vs. The Prophets
Posted on 3/3/2004 at 3:00:20 PM
Home schooling children is not a modern idea. Throughout the world’s history it was the norm, and produced famous names like Newton, Edison, Einstein, Graham-Bell, the Wright Brothers, DaVinci, Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, Churchill, Dickens, C.S. Lewis, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Before the advent of state schooling (and often after) the greatest inventors, scientists, artists, novelists, political and religious leaders received their education from their parents, from their own enthusiasm to learn, and from the religion with which they were associated.
