I simply do not think that I have what it takes to home school my kids. Math was and still is tough for me. I know that I would have a heck of a time with it if I were to have to teach them myself.
Just out of curiosity, did you work with other parents who home schooled? Is there a community of you guys? If so, do you back each other up and meet up often?
Just curious.
Yes, you could teach math. The books are terrific and very very very easy to understand. Many children simply teach themselves without adults helping them. The books are **that** well written.
No, I did not work with other homeschoolers. Homeschooling was in its infancy when we started out. There were very few of us. Of those, most were members of a different church and we didn't have a lot in common.
Math is easy to teach.
My girls are in Algebra 1 and 2.
Saxon has DIVE videos that teach and Teacher videos with every solution. They are well past what I can do.
There are tons of organizations for homeschoolers.
We camp with them, do park days with them and even have Latin and writing classes with them. As for the Moms, I belong to three groups who have Mom’s night out and one has Dad’s night out. My favorite group has a 40ft ice cream sundae for their summer get together.
If you are interested you can to to HSLDA’s website for groups near you.
