What you think you need to teach your homeschooled children: math, science, history, language.

What you really need to teach them:

How to question  
How to explore  
How to communicate  
How to fail  
How to listen  
How to believe in themselves  
How to understand others  
How to respect differences in people=\[\]  
How to have an opinion  
How to change it

Build up the child, or *what* they learn will mean nothing.
