Today an interesting and revealing question came from a homeschool child. The comment/ question was as follows:

“I know the Constitution is a living document, and can be changed two ways. What are the two ways”

So what is happening here? There is so much misinformation even in school textbooks, and the advantage of homeschooling is that parents can weed out the misinformation. However sometimes homeschool parents are using school text books assuming they are accurate. Remember knowledge is powerful only if the information is accurate.

One can see what I told this child at this link: http://educatorssite.com/?p=361

Well what 2 ways did she say it can be changed? You already acknowledged one of the legit ways - amendments. So she's at least halfway right. If she's right about the other way, the only problem is your usage with the word "living" document

It can also be "ignored" just like our current leaders are leading by example with their actions.
