AH> The subjects I've seen people complain about have been history, english, 
 AH> some science...those are best taught in a more practical setting: 
 AH> history as background for current news items; english as communication 
 AH> skills (letter writing, speach making, journals and stories, ect.)
When I was homeschooling (graduated this May after 12 years) I used to ask
my parents that kind of question all the time... and usually the answer I
got was not that we would necessarily retain all the data we learned, but
that "school was a place to learn how to learn." I think that was the phrase
usually used, and it makes sense, especially now that I'm in college. I don't
think I could give you all the dates from my history timeline, but I still
know the methods that I had to use to memorize them when I did.
