From what I know of Caren's kids, I'm very confident that they are, and will be, extremely effective in interacting with people who have beliefs, attitudes, and values other than they're own. They seem to be very good at granting others the freedom to believe as they do without making it mean anything about themselves, and they're much better than the average non-home-schooled kid, I think, at being generous listeners, feeling comfortable with who they are, and not projecting their presumptions onto others.

Those aren't qualities that are generally taught in traditional school, in my experience. Wouldn't it be great if they were?
