As my daughter slogs through another fraction problem, I explain it one more time, and she asks me when she'll use it again.

"Don't do that--you haven't done your 'school' yet."

As a homeschooler, what I believe about real education contradicted by the pressure of doing what most people think school should look like, haunts me day and night.
