I get the impression he really did a lot for the homeschooling movement. I need to read some of his stuff. Thanks for the recommendations. I have heard Holt’s name invoked a lot recently.

I am very interesrted in the history of our educational system and how we got to the point we are. I read something recently that pointed out that it wasn't too long ago that it was the norm to educate your own kids and public schools were only really used by the needy.

This is a great website. Must say you have done a wonderful job. Could you please advise how to introduce Eid to 3.5 year olds ? My daughter attends a Montessori here in India, where she is one of 3 muslims in a group of 50. The teachers have asked me to forward material about Eid and Eid related activities which can be done at school in a multi-religious environment. I have been asked to provide material for Eid ul Adha in particular. Alhamdulillah! This is a great website. Must say you have done a wonderful job.
