Google just launched its ebookstore.  This along with other ebookstores could provide some additional resources for homeschoolers.   It will at least open up options to read out of print books.

“invention originates in the workshop”

Just came across these quotes from  Le Corbusier.  Thougth they had some merrit for the homeschooler.

“The schools are run by “professors” (the very definition of a school). The professors teach according to the prescribed programme. The programme is prescribed by authority. Is this authority in touch with life? Occasional only. As life a programme? No, life is explosive.”

“Teaching is only possible in the workshop. Arithmetic and handwriting can be taught in schools. But invention originates in the workshop.”

“No door is closed. Life goes forward… make nothing academic, never say: that is the end!”
