I put my own curriculum together and wrote my own lesson plans for most of the classes I taught to my son. I have shared my oceanography lesson plans with other home school mothers and it has been suggested that I publish it and a couple others for sale.
I have also given a few small seminars on keeping records, writing transcripts and guiding your child toward success as a college applicant.
The local public school psychologist has my name and number and often directs potential home school parents to me for advice.
In the last couple years those who call seem to be the parents of problem students the schools want out of their hair so to speak. I stress the strong family commitment it takes to home school hoping those who are not willing to make the commitment will reconsider.
You nailed it.
Some people are so clueless about what it takes to homeschool.
Comments like that show whether the person knows what they’re talking about or not.
Besides, curriculum tailor made for one child is not going to be the best for another.
