As many of you know my wife and I homeschool our kids.
My daughter is only 5, so she just started officially homeschooling a year and a half ago, although we started her with some preschool lessons as early as 2. But my son is 13 (turning 14 in a few months) so I like to think by now we are homeschool veterans and have a pretty good idea what we are doing (hopefully).
One of the things I like about homeschooling is while you do follow a curriculum that is similar to what is taught in public school (the usual subjects- math, reading/writing/ geography, history, science etc) you also have a lot of flexibility in additional things you can teach them (or hire others to teach them). This opportunity to teach other things not taught in school is not limited to homeschooling, but it does make it easier to integrate them into their daily learning.
So my question to my fellow stackers is, if you had a magic wand and could use it to teach all the children of the world one thing what would it be? (Leaving this very open ended. Could be anything. A subject, a skill, a framework for life).
Looking forward to hearing your responses.
