1) Avoid public schools


The education a child gets in school is more a function of the child than
the school.

2) Dig out all you can about the Montessori method


Some kids do better with this, some worse.


Since it is basic fundemantals, why would some do worse?


3) Find some good material about human epistemology
4) Find some good works on critical thinking
5) Find some good works about abstract thinking and concept formation


Keeping interested, involved, and supportive of your children and their
education is always a good thing.


And teaching them to think for themselves and not be beholden to any agency.
