End of this blog

I have started a new blog, which will include posts about schooling and homeschooling, but will have a broader focus. Some posts will be like the ones here, some will be about my other interests: alternative health / medicine, macroeconomics, a few bits of history, some stuff about our food supply and cooking, and politics.

To me this all ties together because schooling teaches us not to think for ourselves, not to think critically, to trust the experts absolutely, to purchase services from specialists rather than attempt the work ourselves... in short, it erodes our personal competence. My new blog will be about trying to think for myself and get that personal competence back.

The first post could've gone here, though-- it's on John Holt's How Children Fail.
