If it hadn’t been for Everyday Math, my husband would not have let me homeschool our kids.
I was already teaching them to read, and when I had to add a math class to our after-school day, it was too much for him to take. He said, “Why send them to school if they are just going to have to come home and have school all over again?”
“If it hadn’t been for Everyday Math, my husband would not have let me homeschool our kids.”
LOL. I don’t think that was what Everyday Math intended.
You make a good point in your post. Most parents are already homeschooling their children. Two hours of homework every night in addition to school. The teachers send all the tear-inducing work home for the parents to hassle as homework and keep the fun stuff for themselves. Then they blame the parents for not doing all the hard teaching.
We homeschool and it rarely takes us more than three hours a day to finish the curriculum.
