Reb Bradley has a long and very informative article about mistakes he and other sheltering and controlling Christian homeschooling parents have made in Exposing Major Blind Spots of Homeschoolers.

Youngmom sheds more light on this article in  my comments,

I’ve seen this linked by many homeschoolers talking about how great it is that he is “recognizing his past extremism”. My biggest issue with it is that the whole thing is talking about reavalutating how he did not get the RESULTS that he wanted. It’s time to change the conservative approach to parenting not because his kids were harmed or he regrets treating them that way, not because children deserve respect, but because his methods did not get the results he wanted. Also, his horrible book on discipline “Child Training Tips” was just republished in 2010. I feel that his article is too little too late, if you are really sorry, then actually apologize and burn your book.
