Parents “helping” their kids with homework.
It’s just homeschooling and too many people are too indoctrinated to see it.
Teachers call it “supporting” education. “Helping with homework” **is** the education. And...You are right. Parents are too indoctrinated to see it. I think the teachers are too indoctrinated to see it as well!
The **only** academically success children that I have known are those with parents who are doing tons of afterschooling or they are homeschooling. They are doing, or have done, **everything** our family did as homeschoolers.
What sets my teeth on edge is that we spend **BILLIONS** ( up to $30,000/year/ child) on government schooling and NO ONE has ever done the studies see if it works. Who knows? Maybe it is the afterschooling **IN THE HOME** that is the **real** education.
Yeah! I am shouting. I do that when on this specific topic. Gee! A billion here, a billion there and soon we're talking about real money!
As you both know, I’m a homeschool grad married to a home schooled, on my way to being a homeschool mom. Don’t let the naysayers ever make you doubt yourself. I appreciate my homeschooling more every day. My mother mentioned recently that she believes I’d have been labelled as Aspergers’ if I’d gone to government schools. I loved math and science and I disliked stupid social games. Those traits are an advantage to my adult life. As a kid they’d have gotten me labelled and medicated.
Homeschooling is the best option for 99% of kids, if the parents care to try.
