My 11 year old loves Kahn academy, but he is already very aware of the craziness of progressives in education. I can trust him to explore these sites and use discernment.

I would not allow him to search those sites alone, when he was 6. He also liked Brain Pop, which can have a heavy liberal agenda too. I would tell him which little videos he could and could not watch.

If your discernment is raised, it is for a good reason. Do not second doubt your instincts for your child.

My oldest homeschooled child is now 15, grade level 13 plus, 98% in most subjects, and he does currently attend HighSchool.

He loves football and honors classes and Lacrosse and of course the social stuff.

The 11 year old just got 100% on the ACT in Math. He loves all science, esp Chemistry.

These are good, good kids.

My best advice to you is, listen to yourself. YOU are the expert on your child. No one else’s opinion matters. Hone your instinct and do not be afraid to go balls to the wall, when you know what is right for your child.

You are going do great. God bless.

Thank you. I’m doing this despite my father and other family members expressing doubts about it. They are worried about the interaction he will miss with others his age.
