RE: I am a full time working mom. Will homeschooling work for us?
I hope that homeschooling work out for you. Personally I think it is a good idea. I was bored to death in school so by third grad my mom took me out to homeschool me full time. I have nothing against traditional school so if that works for you then great. Personally I feel like being homeschooled made it easier for me to have a more open mind. I ended up more motivated to be well read, learn a variety of topics, especially in IT and was able to learn about politics so I wasn't subjected to the usual false facts many people are these days. it's also easier to do now since there are so many online courses along with local groups you can connect with to help you.
Wow, thanks @exavier! Coming from a homeschooled person himself, now that is something else. I hope my son would be able to say the same in the future.
Welcome, just being honest. Glad to see you're getting so much positive feedback from people. :-) Homeschooling is really what you make of it and being adaptive.
The thing is that everyone learns differently which is the biggest weakness with regular school they try to standardize how you should teach someone. With time you will find what works best to teach your child. regardless structured curriculum is better, hands on, self taught or whatever else you find is best. If you ever need any advice on good resources feel free to ask I know I'd be happy to offer some ideas and I'm sure others will too. And there are lots of support groups both online and most likely locally who can help as well.
Homeschoolers are very organized now. The group I was part of as a kid now even organizes their own homeschool prom and homecoming, hah.
I'm sure your son will be able to say the same. Sounds like you're really dedicated to giving him a bright future. I personally feel like homeschooling was the best thing that could have happened to me education wise.
