Hide & seek for a couple grand a week.
Does he know Paris?
you might be looking for kids who are on the conveyor belt of American education... what this kid is doing and what he's learned to do will likely help him in any field he chooses... i bet chooses more than two in his lifetime... he's learned how to be a life-long learner... that is far more valuable than someone who goes to school only to learn to do a job...
i agree... this is where conservatives can truly make an impact on the culture... movie directors, journalists, writers, authors, higher education... i'd prefer my boys choose careers from this list than become pastors...
I sense anger in this thread!!! FWIW, I thought it was a cool article. Just shows the great potential behind homeschooling of finding your niche in the world and really getting to explore it while you’re young and can enjoy it! Thanks for posting the article!
Oh, and about kids learning about engineering on their own..my other kid only 5, is constantly doing experiments with weight, asking me about speed, gravity, how things are made-that kind of stuff. Kids are different and I bet she will do something more technical than the older one. I’ll keep answering her questions and finding her opportunities to combine her talents and interests with what she and the world needs.
WONDERFUL!!! Great job there!!! :) Isn’t it wonderful to let your kids do what they love?! I am so excited about homeschooling and I don’t even have any kiddos yet (God willing by this time next year I’ll have one on the way)!
