12 Quotes by Sandra Dodd

School kids don’t know the world is a million times bigger than school’s version of it.

I want to press her to decide it’s “NONE,” because “some” is damaging to the child’s potential to learn it joyfully and discover it on his own. And “lots” will just hurt that much more. “None” can still be turned to “some” if the parent can’t get unschooling. But if she doesn’t even try unschooling, she misses forever the opportunity to see that child learn to read gradually and naturally. It will be gone forever. Forever.
