Too Much, Too Fast

This article could not describe my feelings about public education and the associated pressures any better. Kids just aren't allowed to be kids any more, and it's sad...really sad.

My support of public education and my involvement in the schools notwithstanding (my main reason for being involved to begin with has nothing to do with education really and more to do with my need to be "in the know"), it's the pressure and "inability" for kids to just be kids that has often lead me to thinking that homeschooling may in fact be a better option.
