I'm getting divorced (thanks, oxycontin!) I have twin boys who are going into first grade. I homeschooled them for their kindergarten year and they did great. They're testing way above their grade level.
I was a stay at home mom, but now I'm getting back into the workforce. Ideally, I'll be working part time and going to school part time. But I may have to give up school and just work full time. Either way...
Homeschooling wasn't all that hard when they were kindergartners and I was going to school full time.
Is it possible that homeschooling could actually be easier than public schooling? Especially with all the common core crap that's going on... I mean, their homework is my homework, right? Are they going to be bringing home a whole bunch of nonsense for me to have to figure out, instead of just teaching them a proper lesson? And is it possible that by avoiding the inevitable unruly influences so commonly found in public schools I will be saving myself a world of trouble? They're such nice boys- I would hate to see their attitudes change.
Can a single mother with primary custody homeschool?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72659017 Home schooling is brilliantly easy for shiftless dirt bag parents, just tell the little shit to grab a book a couple times a day and send him or her to their room. If the kid doesn't learn a fucking thing except that Jebus luvs em', you've done your job. I've known numerous families that have done exactly that, and in Michigan those kids are never tested, it goes entirely by the parent's word. On the other hand, if you actually want your kid to learn something besides Jebus bullshit, it takes a lot of work and many parents can't handle it and give up and send them to public school. At least in public school the kid learns how to socialize with peers. I have known a few stay at home moms who tried to do a very good job of educating their kids at home, they spent at least 6 hours or more each day, but in every case they gave up when they reached high school age, it was just too much work to do it right, and off they went to public school.
