This is why I kept mine home. I know many don't have that option. I can monitor what is going on and they don't have to feel uncomfortable being there with the crazy restrictions. Next school year they are going back. I hope they don't have these mask mandates etc.
I decided to do the same. This whole mask mentality and social distancing was mentally affecting my son to the point he absolutely started getting depressed when Mondays would come. We started homeschooling earlier this week. I work full time at home, so it's been an adjustment, but one I'm willing to do.
It really is better, and it is nice to have them home. While there are some great teachers, there are always bad apples. At home, I can see them clear as day. I am actually enjoying this.
And even the good teachers have their hands tied. Both of my sisters are teachers and they have almost zero say so in what gets taught. They have a team leader that creates a lesson plan for each subject and they have to follow that. And those lesson plans are based around the curriculum chosen by the school board. Your kid can have a great individual teacher, but that's not who decides what is actually being taught to them.
Plus Common Core is horrific. They are purposely dumbing kids down. The Mastery Method is the way the majority of people learn. The Spiral Method is awful and leaves HUGE gaps in a child's education. My 8th grade nephew doesn't know his multiplication tables. They spent 2 or 3 weeks learning multiplication and moved on to division. It's crazy! He is smart as a whip, but has been taught crap, and yet still has hours of homework at night. My sister spends more time helping her 3 kids with their homework than the homeschool moms I know spend doing ALL their kids' schooling.
So, so true. I'm actually backtracking with his math, b/c he needs it the most, but it's nice to be able to work through the lessons with him. He too, would have lots of homework, but to me, it was simply busy work. It's very frustrating when they're doing all that work, but really not learning anything from it.
I think I’m going to keep him home if things don’t go back to normal next year. I was homeschooled as a kid for a few years and I hated it. Now I completely understand why my parents did it
Same here. I won't send mine back unless there are no mandates.
You can do it, there are A TON of curricula to choose from now, from very loose to very structured, you'll find one that fits both of you just right. See Cathy Duffy Reviews.
