Home Schooling
Does home schooling do your child any good?
I would like to know your opinion on home schooling. I have a cousin that does home school but does not do her homework! She rarely does anything but sits around. How can we be sure home schooling really works?
Can we be sure that public school works? I mean, drop out rates in the US have reached 2500 students PER DAY! 20 to 25% of American adults can read no better than a fourth grader…these are publicly schooled people, not homeschoolers.
I wonder about your cousin, because many homeschoolers don’t have homework….they don’t need to be assigned meaningless work to take home to prove they know something, because they do the work. Not to mention, that what people learn in school, actually only takes about two hours to learn (Hey that’s from the NEA, not homeschoolers) In fact, in NYC, teachers in high school have it in their contract that they don’t spend more than three hours in actual instruction. So it wouldn’t surprise me if your cousin is done with her work before you get a lunch break.
Homeschooling (to answer your question) has done my children a world of good. When I pulled my second grader from school, she was incapable of reading, could only do addition with single digit numbers, and had no idea of any other topic. Special ed left her high and dry, and within six months of being home, she was caught up to grade level. My oldest was in fourth grade, and was failing. Not because he couldn’t do the work, but because he was in mobile home classroom, with 32 other children, as schools attempted to ‘save money’. He was ready to move on to algebra, and the teacher told him that would be ‘too hard’ and to ‘save it for high school’. This is one of the best districts in the state. Their idea of a gifted class was one hour a week, pulled out to play board games or learn to meditate. How does that help a gifted and advanced child to learn? Now he can learn what he wants, when he wants, with no boundaries attached. The same is true for all of my younger children. Homeschooling has allowed them to look at the mainstream rules and see how ridiculous they are, how they pigeon hold children into a set role from a young age, no questions asked because they are professionals.
