The Homeschooling Revolution



November 01, 2004

Cultcha Shock

Eric Goldscheider, who frequently writes about unschoolers, sent along this article he wrote. It appeared in the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine and showcases Zalmai Yawar, an Afghan who now studies at Amherst College but was a translator for foreign correspondents.

"Oh, my" graf: "He (Yawar) was surprised to meet atheists in Amherst, something he never encountered in his home country. He took a course on ancient Israel that required him to read the Old Testament, and he came to realize that in some parts of Afghanistan, 'people still live in a biblical world,' where grievances between men may be redressed by bartering female family members."
