YES. Move near an airport then complain about the airport syndrome. Keep sending kids there and complain. You know NOTHING will get done. Homeschool is the only option. "But we neeeeeed two incomes!" For what? Your snazzy house, camper, boat and new cars??? Don't sacrifice your kids for "stuff". Write out priorities and stick to it. Your kids are more of a priority than a nice house and car. The other excuse I hear is "I am not smart/patient enough". Seriously, no one is. You do what you can do, and when you lose patience you send them outside. Or, find a documentary or educational movie to watch.
We homeschool, have since the beginning. We are in a group (Classical Conversations) and have met a ton of friends through there! Do activities, every place has homeschool programs or days. Make friends. Don't use "socialization!!!" as another excuse because you are afraid to educate your own children.
It’s hard at times. But my mantra is “I can’t do a worse job than public school”
No one loves your kids more than you. No one will work as hard to figure out how your child learns best. For different subjects, the strategy may vary.
Anyone who has kids has to know by now the crap that's going on in every school. If you care about your kids, get them out of public schools. There are other options besides homeschooling. Some parents join with other parents to hire their own teacher or teachers and start their own little school. Many church schools will provide tuition assistance.
Then start pressuring your state legislature to provide education vouchers.
Yes we are new to homeschooling... joined a local home schooling group, it's great to be around like minded thinkers, the kids like it, but I'm enjoying it way more than them I think... it's fun to do stuff, with people.
I live in NY, I admit I was liking the isolation at first, but I am surrounded by assholes 😂
Not sure I'll ever be a "people" person, but I do like exposure to normals
