Andrew Jason Cohen's most recent post on education stimulated me to think a little bit more about some of the challenges associated with how we educate children. We are a reluctant public-schooling family. Ideally we'd homeschool, but for a variety of complicated and personal reasons we are, for the moment at least, sending our two oldest children to school. This is despite significant misgivings about how traditional education in this country functions, including the concerns Andrew brought up in his post, namely a total disregard for the biological and developmental needs of children.
