Not to disagree, but what percentage of parents do you think could successfully homeschool?
I expect that you need two parents who can live off the income from a single working parent. Do you think that is correct?
I just read the AP article. I don’t believe the story!
How can you possibly ace the AP physics exam and not know how to do algebra? Precalculus physics which is the usual high school physics is all algebra! I found the orientation of the photo accompanying the article interesting. Oriented in a way so you couldn’t possibly see the equation on the whiteboard.
I’m not talking about homeschooling and I didn’t home school. I’m talking about paying attention to what your kid is learning (or not learning) and doing something about it yourself.
PS- I do support homeschooling and I expect the best students going forward will come out of the homeschooling ranks.
“Do you think that is correct?”
Stay at home Mom back then and lived on a very, VERY, tight budget.
Yep. That’s what we did and it was so worth it on steroids!!!!
One of my kids an M.D., the other has a PhD. in A.I.
No, because mr. mm and I knew of a situation where it was a single parent (mom) who had a kid heading for JD. the child was so bad the public school kicked them out.
She used an online curriculum and her child did fantastic with it, got his self-esteem up, and went onto to community college and straightened his life out.
Its harder that way, but it is doable.
And considering the quality of public education these days, almost any parent can do a far better job than the public school system by virtue of the simple fact that they can give the kids one on one attention.
