Private school maybe?
Private school is no better. My kids still have to take standardized tests from the government. My 9 year could not wait to tell me that one question was:
“What happens when taxes are cut?” and the answers were:
“Schools lose funding”
“Police and Fire Departments lose funding”
something else he did not remember
and “All of the above”
He told me if the government takes less of our money we can go to McDonalds or the video game store and buy things with OUR money. I was sooooo proud.
I’d like to point out that there are a lot of misconceptions about homeschooling, too. Thankfully, most of the homeschooling I did was overseas so I didn’t have to worry about an approved curriculum. Lots of teaching was done by practical application, for example, cooking. Cooking requires following instructions, learning about measurements, and if a recipe is halved/ doubled then math is involved. My daughter learned a huge amount of history by playing multi-player family games of Age of Empires on the computer. Researching who had what technology and the advancement through the ages was helpful in choosing what society to play to whip mom’s butt. LOL. Natural science can be taught on nature walks. It’s a lifestyle of making everyday activity a teachable moment, not spending hours at the kitchen table in books.
