"it's a lot of rote memorization, which is a hell of a lot easier for parents to teach than critical thinking sorts of stuff." Most of the homeschooling materials are very big on rote work. And there isn't anything wrong with that. In fact, a certain amount of it is needed. But, incorporating that into the bigger picture is where a lot of the materials break down. I agree that there is a lot of rote memorization involved esp. when it comes to being a good speller. That's why I think you have to be self motivated to be good.....with the notable exception of Z who apparently is a genius and has a photographic mind and appears to be toying with us. Just kidding Z. ;-)
