spelling and education

In his excellent book:" The Real Frank Zappa" Mr. Zappa states that most intelligent thing a caring parent can do for their child is to get the child out
of "the system" as soon as possible.... The best thing that any parent could do for their kid(s) it to put in front of an education software package
for their age group....These are much better than a classroom because the most IMPORTANT principle is adhered to: The kid learns at the kid's
pace.....How many times have all us seen PMS QUEEN humilate a kid in a class because she didn't like the question ??......never to see the kid ask another ever again and withdraw.....well computer software is not like the battleaxe with the personality of Ilsa The Hag.....
The moral: If you want smart kids who feel that anything is possible listen
to what Frank Zappa said: Get 'em outta the mental gulag.
