So true, the internet makes home schooling much easier. I have the world at my fingertips. Computers in general help, too, with the tremendous variety of CD Roms available on each subject, video streaming, satellite schools. . .
Yep. Imagine the government literally PAYING FOR a high speed internet connection to every home with school age children as well as a FREE COMPUTER and Base Station.
Instead of $10k a year, it would be around $1500 and the quality of education each child gets would be determined by the involvement of the parents, or lack thereof. This is putting responsibility and control back in the parents hands, where it belongs.
We use the internet constantly in homeschooling. For example, when the children read about a place in a book, they can then see it on a map, find out its population, review photos and so on.
It’s wonderful.
