Teacher here (on a phone so shorter). With all of the discussion we have about school on some posts I wanted to share some I formation. 1) Teach your young children to read by talking to them often. Talk to them about sounds (look up orthographic mapping), and about word meaning. 2 ) Build a base for math by counting with your children, playing board games, card games, dice games, and having them estimate how much you put into the cart. 3 ) Teach them your values by living your values - the best way to impart character to your children is for them to catch it, instead of hear it. 4) Have conversations about what you believe with your children. It is never to early to help them truly believe, and also ask and answer questions about faith. If you don’t, someone will... 5) The above 4 should keep your child in general education, and most likely push them into the high end of their class. 6) Finally, get involved if your children go to public school. Volunteer in the classroom: on the PTO, and on the School board. Visible parents reduce the chances of bad things being taught. Teachers do remember who helps them, and will go the extra mile for your children when you it there.
