I kind of had no choice, the school district where we lived when my kids were small sucked. And some how it has gotten worse than it was then. We no longer live in that district but the school district we are in isn't any better. So it was home school my kids or let them get left behind or get into trouble out of boredom. (My old was reading at a college level in 2nd grade the school solution was to send her to the library for 4+ hours a day and though that isn't totally bad it isn't what she needed)
Yeah, I kinda got that treatment from the 4-6th grade. I was so far ahead of my class mates in math that for those three years I tutored 2nd graders in math during my normal math class time. And I remember being rebuked in college Psychology class for not paying attention, but when the Professor tried to embarrass me by asking me several questions on her lecture, only to be given correct answers to her. Some folks are blessed with the ability to multi-task and if you cann't feed us information fast enough, you're simply going to put us to sleep.
Again, you're brave indeed and best of luck.
It was cool that she out read all the other students combined in 2nd grade but I was like give her something to challenge her. they didn't have the funds to do that. So I brought them all home. My oldest turns 21 in 15 days and she owns her own home free and clear and graduated at 16 years old. She wanted to graduate sooner but I wouldn't allow it.
I want this to be me at 21!
Glad to hear the positives about homeschooling. So often 'outsiders' act like it is leprosy or something.
I am going over to checkout your son's page now!
Edited because I read the direct parent and now I understand that you were talking about my daughter not my son LOL
My bad!
Yes, your daughter that has her own house paid off and all! Very cool!
Start small then save and work your way up to something better. That is the key to any goal really.
