homeschooling

I recently have reconsidered home schooling for my own children. They say that no publicty is bad publicity, even though CA proved to have problems that were announced to the world regarding home schooling, it put the idea into the forefront of my mind again. There must be a serious reason these parents chose to home school their children.

About.com had an interesting article on the subject of things that ought to be considered broken down into these ten areas: 1)Time commitment 2)Personal sacrifice 3) Financial strain 4) Socialization 5) Household organization 6) Both parents in agreement 7) Is your child willing? 8) One year at a time 9) Intimidated by the teaching? and 10) Why others began.

Speed reading

I have been skeptical of this but slowly (ironically) I begin to believe that through the use of "chuncking" or "subvocalization" people can read with incredible speeds while retainng comprehension. one can only imagine the practical uses of such a skill, not limited to side-show freak in the circus. but if I can read faster than others it stands to reason, hat by various means othrers could read faster yet. Someone once told me that no matter how good ou are there is always someone better, this makes sense and validates the possibility of speed reading.
