RE: Dealing With Opposition When You Start Home Educating.
I mostly agree with this guy. Spending your childhood/teen years memorising a bunch of stuff does seem kind of pointless these days, unless it's stuff you do actually need to remember.

I saw that guy recently on an Inventorium advert. I also agree with him, but like you say there are some circumstances where memorizing helps (apparently memorizing the periodic table helps when you're studying chemistry). Also here a degree is highly regarded by a lot of employers still. Hubby doesn't have a degree, so he's often overlooked for many management jobs because of it. Yet because he's highly experienced and qualified, he's considered over qualified for lower level jobs. Catch 22. It's becoming more of a problem now that unemployment is so high. Previously he could do management jobs on lower pay, because of his lack of degree. Now they can pay people with degrees to do the job for lower pay, because they need the work.
