People Who Have Been Destroyed By Amateurs

Dawn has a great post listing various people who have been taught by "amateurs." I remember thinking how COOL it was when my homeschooled son learned about Thomas Edison...who was also homeschooled. :-)

And I also found it rather cool that Benjamin Franklin was something like the 10th son in his family. Boy, I sure am glad his parents didn't think, "2 kids is really all we can handle."

But that's probably another post for another time..... ;-)

I just learned a couple of months ago when we studied Thomas Edison that he was deaf. Jacob was looking at me wondering how I could have ever graduated without knowing that.

Wow, really???? I didn't know that! (We did a very brief overview. ;-) ) How interesting!

I'm finding that there is LOTS of stuff that I never learned about in school. What in the world did they teach us anyway????
