Some countries (like Germany, I believe) throw homeschoolers in jail.<br /><br />School is always a day to day proposition around here. I think homeschool would work much better for us, as my wife basically ends up teaching the entire curriculum to Buddy Boy anyway. But she's not up for it, so it's public school for now.<br /><br />JoeClub 166https://www.blogger.com/profile/01816977079856902634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-10922198845478545022012-08-18T11:20:19.507-05:002012-08-18T11:20:19.507-05:00I think the answer to the "walk on water"...I think the answer to the "walk on water" quote is this: “The kids learn to work on their own and figure things out for themselves.” In schools, success depends on the teacher because of how schools are structured. In homeschool, students have a greater chance of being more individualistic, fending for themselves, and carving a path that interests them--if their parents transition to the idea of learning rather than "school at home" thinking.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-48905181233610990722012-08-17T18:04:33.796-05:002012-08-17T18:04:33.796-05:00What a schizophrenic article! It seems the article...What a schizophrenic article! It seems the article is attempting to lure homeschoolers back in (even if just for a few classes) by saying..."you're ok...we're ok". They have taken the time to study homeschooling enough to understand the trend toward hybrid homeschooling. We are consummate hybrid homeschoolers over here and it was an excellent mix for us. ... But when I tried to integrate public school services online I was very unhappy. They can write as touchy-feely an article as they want, but if they deliver an inferior product, we will move in. I did.

Even in a class of 30+, a child who wants to learn will do so, while a child who doesn't want to know or doesn't care, won't learn much no matter what teaching environment is used.

Thankfully I am relieved to say we had a small community of homeschoolers here who were other 'oddballs' I could now relate to....and that community has tripled since I began 6 years ago.<br /><br />I'm glad it's catching on and that others are seeing the benefits. And having a mom who is a former math teacher would rock!!!Blondeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827536147609261504noreply@blogger.com
