Beats Home Skool

Look at me! I is a Teecher!

That would be funny if most homeschooled kids performed worse than their government school counterparts. They don't, so it's just desperate. I think it just chaps your drawers that a parent with a high school education can teach her kids better at home than teachers with master's degrees in a government school.

The parent does little if the child can read and follow directions. I homeschooled two kids we used computers.

We did too. A motivated parent makes the difference.

Now, it's interesting that a teacher with a master's degree in teaching, backed up by a multi-billion dollar education system, complete with cabinet level representation in Washington, can be outdone by a motivated parent and a computer. Makes you wonder why we aren't dialing down the government school system and dialing up home schooling.

Ok. How would you "dial it up"?

Offer tax incentives for homeschooling ......

Do you think that tax incentives would offset what dual-working parents have to do to work and pay the bills?

Not at all, but it would make it easier for the parents dedicated to their children's education.

Families with both parents working one or more jobs are no less dedicated to their children's education because they are driving themselves to an early grave for their children's food and shelter.

There are ways to accomplish home schooling, even when both parents have to work. A co-op, for example, could have a parent oversee several children in their co-op doing remote learning and the parents whose kids she's observing can chip in to offset some of the costs. IOW, you don't have to solve every single problem before embracing a solution. Allow the people to come up with their own solutions. And, there can always be traditional government schools for parents who have to work and do not have any other choice. This is the critical point, offer MORE options, not LESS.

Seems like those options are all available now.

They are, but in this day of social distancing and our failing government school system, we need to make educating children at home easier, not harder.

I educated mine at home and they went to school which is why they either graduated early or with college credits when they finished high school, it is not just the school's job to educate children it is the parents job to do it and do it well...

1. If you are a government school grad, I probably have to explain who Voltaire was, to you.

"François-Marie Arouet (French: [fʁɑ̃swa maʁi aʁwɛ]; 21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire (/vɒlˈtɛər, voʊl-/;[5][6][7] also US: /vɔːl-/,[8][9] French: [vɔltɛːʁ]), was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his criticism of Christianity—especially the Roman Catholic Church—as well as his advocacy of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state. "

2. You should keep the phrase 'freedom of speech' written somewhere, as it will disappear from the lexicon.
.... the phrase: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" as an illustration of Voltaire's beliefs.

We did all three, started ours in private school, transferred my son to government school in the 6th grade. When they wanted to short bus him because his autism caused anxiety was so high, we pulled him out and taught him at home. We taught our daughter at home as well until she was high school aged, then let her go to government school because she asked to. It worked for all involved because they got the education they needed. The difference is the parents.
