Interesting perspective:

Quote:

If a family uses the “school-at-home” approach, also known as the textbook or school model approach, they have placed themselves squarely back in the traditional camp. This is especially true if students’ learning styles are not taken into account; parents follow a prescribed syllabus without modifications; multiple choice tests are the norm for assessments, and grades are used as external motivations for learning. As a result, the homeschool program is not progressive in nature.
