That is a very good, very valid observation. We've homeschooled for 13 years now, but we only have three. My wife has her degree in elementary education, but our kids were 80-90% self taught once they were solid readers.
Honestly, we know a lot of large homeschooling families, and the older children often end up being a major help to the parents in the education of the younger ones. And lots of homeschoolers take more than 18 years to complete a tough curriculum like Seton.
I guess I'm just saying there are advantages of large families that are often overlooked in a culture diametrically opposed to large families.
I’m a Seton graduate and it’s hands down the best college prep school program out there. My kids are enrolled now.
I’ve been a high school tutor for 10 years and I see what happens when parents aren’t involved with their kids’ education at home. And the vast majority are large families where mom is overwhelmed.
