The Harriet Tubman Agenda. Education policy and homeschooling discussion. James Buchanan (1919-Oct.-03 to 2013-Jan.-09). Observes: " Jim died this past January. Were he still alive, he would today celebrate his 94th birthday.". James Buchanan attributed his success, in part, to his education in a one-room schoolhouse. Since the teacher could not instruct all students simultaneously, she allowed those students who could study on their own to work through the material without her help. John, Is That You.
