You know that one book? That one curriculum that was all-important? That one that was going to be the foundation for your child’s education?

That one that’s still on the shelf — unopened…

Throw it away.

You heard me. Or give it away! Sell it! Get it out of your house so it stops haunting you like the ring in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Some of us hold on to curriculum like Gollum and the ring. Your child(ren) will be fine.
