When I homeschooled, we did Charlotte Mason method, and the Charlotte Mason method, one of its key features is that it expects total attention for age-appropriate times. So in his case, that was 10 to 15 minutes. And during that 10 to 15 minutes, he could fiddle around with Legos or fidget spinners or whatever, because if I'm making him sit still, all of his attention is going to go towards

Yeah, I'm not a fan of what's called the German industrial style of education, which is what government schools in America for the most part are based on. Sit in chair, listen to teacher. It's not designed to create intelligent, curious, thoughtful people. It's designed to create factory workers and it runs on farm time. Und das war Holtz' Kritik, der Kern davon.

Und es ist die Kritik vieler von den Eltern der Hochschulen, die ich kenne. Es ist nicht so, oh, meine Kinder werden über Dinosaurier lernen. Es ist so, dass mein 7-Jähriger nicht in einem Sitz für 7 Stunden am Tag sitzen wird.

So there's also the way that No Child Left Behind has affected teaching. This is a Bush-era program where they tied educational funding to educational achievement, and the educational achievement was measured by standardized tests. So now they're just teaching to the standardized tests these kids have to take because that's where the funding comes from.

So as an example of how this plays out in the real world, I go to my first parent teacher meeting and they tell me that my son has trouble reading and that they're worried that he has dyslexia. And I'm like, Ja. Währenddessen habe ich ihn zu Hause mit den Narnia-Büchern und den letzten Kindern auf der Erde gelesen, das ist wie ein Zombie-Buch für Kinder, die 10 Jahre alt sind.

Nein, ich denke das überhaupt nicht. Zuerst einmal, das ist dumm, weil ich in einem der größten konservativen kongressiven Städte in Amerika lebe. Die Chancen, dass mein Kind nach Hause kommen wird, kritische Rassentheorien zu sprechen, oder die Werte des kommunistischen Kubas zu sehen, sind nicht existent.
