Home schooling looks better all the time.




I’m not sure anything make home schooling look good.  School is about more than just the curriculum itself.   Theirs the aspect of working with others as well.  Only thing about teaching that’s attractive is the schedule.   The folks that teach TYPICALLY have a knack for it.  

One of the engineers at work very book and very palatable dispossession has a liter of kids.  Him and his wife home schooled his kids he admitted the kids struggled with the transition to college.  



Coming from the home school side of things with 7 kids I am not sure I will agree with you on your first sentence. I have one son that manages a Finnimg Cat dealership in Canada. One son working for a company that is making autonomous trucks. A daughter who is a Craniosacral theraphist. A daughter who is a very skill wood craftsman and makes many one of a kind pieces of wood art. A daughter who is just entering into the joys of Motherhood but can speak two languages. A daughter who owns and manages a specialty meat shop. And a son who likes to float from being a welder a machinest or mechanic. The John Deere dealership wanted to send him to John Deeres school.They all work well with others and they got their start from their home schooling years. Our youngest son wanted to try public school. He had finished home schooling so he went to grade 12 public. His comment from that experience "They sure waste a bunch of time and get very little done during a day". The other interesting thing, he scored higher on the college entrance exams then the other students which really ticked off the teachers at the school. They all can play music instruments as their Mom taught them piano, some of the girls went on to play violin.

Who says everyone needs college? I never went and am skilled in many areas. I have manage at two different locations over the years myself. Right now Finning is looking for a combination electrician/generator tech. They have decided they will have to train that person. The interesting thing is I could fill the posistion and would be interested if I was twenty years younger. As to teaching, common sense goes a long ways and you only need to be one day ahead of the students.

Math and fractions lets go to the kitchen and put that knowledge into use. Want to weld lets go to the shop and burn up some gas and rods. Same thing running machine tools. I do not have any wall art that says I can do it from any college however I can display an ASE certificate that says I am a master machinest. Wood work sure why not. Have the tools and the knowledge and live in the house I built back in the early 1990's. The interesting thing is all those skills I put into practice now farming. 

Maybe you should take another look at home schooling as there is much more to it than meets the eye.
