My British school days were a kindergarten Battle of the Bulge. I grew up, half German, a generation after the Second World War and my school friends fought the Hun in the playground every lunchtime.

Riding on the coat-tails of an earlier article about emigrating to other countries, I present to you a small summary of my experience rapidly learning French to pass a standardized test for Canadian immigration. Since I live in the middle of the US, far removed from anything resembling a Francophone environment, I had to resort to various online and offline resources to accomplish my goal, managing to learn enough to score as "advanced" in several categories in just 10 months. Even if you don't wish to emigrate, this article may be useful, as I go into full detail describing the techniques and methods I used. Or, at the very least, read and be amused.

This article uses examples from the American public school system; however, the ideas here are equally applicable in any country. What follows is not a comprehensive solution to every problem in public schools, only the ones that can be fixed by implementing The Keller Plan.    Anna, age three, currently works at a first grade level even though she cannot legally enter school for another two years. When she finally is old enough to enroll, she will be entering one of the worst school systems in the country. Presumably by this time she will be working at a third or fourth grade level, but will be forced to enter kindergarten with the other children her age.    Homeschooling is becoming an increasingly popular solution for such cases. For most parents though, this involves hiring expensive tutors. Homeschooling also runs the risk of socially isolating kids. Is there a way someone like Anna could get a topnotch education tailored for her own unique abilities while still enjoying the benefits public schools provide and avoiding the drawbacks of homeschooling?
