Hi Dave,
I actually know a couple of father's at my dd's school that share your views. We have started a Friday multicultural discussion group and such topics often come up.
The school is semi-flexible. They do have a curriculum they follow but they allow children to study additional subjects they are passionate about.
I wanted to thank you for the book references. My dd just received THE WAY LIFE WORKS and she has been reading for an hour. I also ordered THE LIFE OF FRED. Should be getting those tomorrow. I am always looking for enrichment resources. Looks like my dd really liked the science book.
