He’s in school...where else do you think he should be?

Dear Hildy,

“He’s in school...where else do you think he should be?”

At age 3? Age 4? Generally, at home.

Some kids may be ready for a couple of hours of pre-school by 4 or so, but many kids should be at home with mom and or dad at age 3, and even at 4. Not every kid really should even be in in Kindergarten at 5.

As well, some kids just don't do well with prison cam —, er..., schools, and parents should try to make whatever sacrifices needed to homeschool those children.

It was clear that our older son was going to experience life-long problems if we continued to send him to a regular traditional school beyond Kindergarten. The teachers just couldn't keep up with him. So, we homeschooled.

The younger guy would have been labeled ADHD or something or other and forcibly drugged. We homeschooled him, too.

Wonderful experience. By the time they went to high school, they were ready to deal with the stupidity and venality of the educational system, we sent them both to a decent Catholic high school, they graduated at or near the top of their class.

They both did okay.

Much pain and suffering was avoided by figuring out early that traditional school didn't fit them when they were younger, and they didn't fit into traditional schools.

Some children at three are at home with mothers/fathers not in school full time.
