The worldwide pandemic was quite shocking to everyone and especially parents who had to not only worry about their family’s health, but also were responsible to “teach” their own children. If the upheaval has you concerned and you are considering homeschooling, this website and my book can help answer your questions and provide solutions. The truth is that these parents did not experience homeschooling. The schools were guiding them about what to teach; they chose the curriculum and defined the schedule.
Homeschooling parents have full control over the curriculum and academic decisions, create their own schedule, cater to each student’s learning style, skip repetitive material the student has already mastered, develop their own lesson plans, have flexibility of when, what, and where to teach, can choose which yearly standardized test to take, and have their children learn at their own pace.
Politicians always argue about whose job it is to educate children and how to improve the school system. I believe parents should be responsible for their children’s education, even if it’s only done on a part-time basis.
