Looks interesting. Anything that’s an alternative to quasi-monopoly government schools.

I sort of wish this could remain a secret. Not that I wish ill on any parents who truly care about their own children. However, “a little leaven” ...
Anyway, homeschooling in many different forms is the BRIGHT future of education in the USA.

I read maybe 15 years ago a report of a study of which profession is the most apt to have its kids outside of the Public School System- homeschool, private, or parochial. It was public school teachers.

HOME EDUCATION.

Try BJU Press. It’s right there in SC.

The older I get, the more I wish my genius Mother with a high school diploma, an artist, a historian, the most well-read person I’ve ever met, had home schooled me.

Too many kids care too much what others think and have not had enough emphasis given to them to believe in themselves and not care what other kids think. That emphasis must go with positive reinforcement from parents and family as well, and it is too often lacking in broken or dysfunctional families.

I never had anything against school itself; it was the principal of the thing.

Often described as “outsourced homeschooling,” they tend to be less bureaucratic than traditional schools, which often emphasize standardized testing and fixed curricula. This makes microschools more agile, flexible, and adaptive, proponents say, allowing them to tailor education to students.

Not to defend public schools, but standardized testing is a good method to ensure students are properly progressing. The problem (one of) is poor teachers that then only teach for that.

Home schooled kids often do fine, but I have met a couple who were pretty smart but lacking in some minor basic knowledge because they didn't get a full general education.
