We have been ingrained to think that schooling is the way kids are educated; therefore, students who do poorly in school are "not smart" where the good students are. My passion is to overturn that thinking and help parents realize there are many forms of intelligence and genius, and it doesn't always look like making good grades in a school setting. This letter to my former student discusses some ways in which schooling and education are different. It is such a freeing concept, especially since we homeschoolers tend to hold on to the same thoughts about education, and so hurt our children with that misunderstanding.

The pursuit of equality has robbed us of more than it gave. With all the hear me roaring going on, and the clawing our way up the corporate ladder, proving that “anything you can do I can do better” to all the men who want to “hold us down”, we’ve become hard, tough, independent women, and in our own delusion, we applaud ourselves for these qualities instead of mourning the death of our naturally-powerful attributes. Realistically, and ironically, true femininity is strong. A woman can be soft and strong, tender and tough, deferring and dignified, all at the same time.
