RE: Free homeschool curriculum and resources edition 7- Handwriting

Hi and thanks for the brilliant work you are doing.

I hope you update on a regular basis, adding the latest to above.

I have been talking with various people in the USA (I live in Africa) and they are worried about the schooling and indoctrination occuring at school. They want to homeschool their kids but, they cannot afford anything expensive and/or both parents work.

I suggested they canvas their neighbourhood to find how many parents want to homeschool. If they can find about fifteen, then they are well on their way to success. The cost of hiring a woman (teacher) to help the kids with their inline lessons should make it affordable.

They should, among the 15 parents, find one, a parent who is not working and would appreciate a bit of extra income. As she will have to dedicate a study room for the kids, have her facilities strained by so many uses of the bathroom and the kitchen, if she is paid, for example, $100, it becomes worthwhile for her, while she also has the benefit of her child being one of the 15.

They were very happy with the idea, but then came the part where I cannot help. Most of them lack in self-confidence and they need help to get started. They will need a hundred questions answered and continuing advice and support.

My first thought, when I saw your post, ask to post this link to the other site. But, then it means they cannot contact you if they do not join Steemit. I don't want to ask them to make too many changes at the same time...

Are you willing to help, in whatever way is acceptable to you? For instance, if we tell them they must create their group, gathr the info you need and you open a web-site (at a cheapie $5 a month host) and for parents to sign in and get the help they need, at least ten of them must sign up to be given entry.

There is a lot that would need to be done, but this is just an exploratory approach, to find out whether you feel you can help and whether you want to ger involved in something like this. I think that over a few years you could end up with a number of such 'schools' and it could also provide you with a reasonable income.

Please let me know what your thoughts are.
