Answer: This lack of confidence is **entirely** due to the indoctrination that Americans have received while attending their own K-12, prison-like, and brick and mortar schools. Of course brick and mortar schools want their graduates to believe that only such institutions can teach children. It is how they perpetuate their evil!
Of course your wife is capable of teaching your children! She taught them to speak in English, toilet trained him, how to eat with spoon and fork, ride a bike, roller skate, tie their shoes, say please and thank you, dress themselves ...etc. None of this is learned in **school**!
Believe me teaching a child to read and do arithmetic is NOT any different than any of the **thousands** of things she has already taught your children.
Please visit a homeschooling meeting with your wife so you can both see that ordinary people are rearing up extraordinary children by doing what God has naturally planned for us to do.

She is from Laos and not a native English speaker. She went to a gov’t run Chinese school where she didn’t learn much up until about our 8th grade.
