“Life is about making decisions. Real decisions. Not, Should I make a diarama or write a 5-paragraph essay? Children need to exercise decision-making in order to mature.
We were better off when kids ended school early and started working earlier.”
Home school can accomodate this philosophy.
My daughter knits like an exceptional pro. She gets an A in “Fiber Arts.”
My other daughter bakes like a queen. We had pink lemonade cake yesterday! She gets an A in “Home Economics.”
My kids ref soccer for pay. That’s their “P.E.”
Etc.
I am not joking about any of this stuff. Their knowledge of fiber arts, home ec and PE is adult level and credit worthy.

Absolutely. We homeschool too. The activities your kids are engaging in aren’t contrived. They’re useful to somebody.
