This. The reason they split up the family and plummeted the living wage was to separate the children from their kin and other elders in their communities. It is less feasible than ever for most of us Americans to watch our kids throughout the day. Both the mother and father are too busy having to report in to our respective plantations from 9 to 5. And then nights and weekends for many more on top of that.
There's only a couple hours of actual teacher instruction in a school day. That's about 10 hours a week. You could do a little each evening and finish on the weekend. Instructional videos and field trips count.
So if you see your children at least 10 hours a week, you can teach them.
Yeah, I guess the problem would be what to do with them while I'm working. My mom watches them in the morning before she goes to work, in the summer my sister watches them for a few hours until I get off. It stretches my sister thin, she has 5 kids and babysits 2 kids, sometimes more. I'd love to just have a chunk of land to live off, then I could be home with them. I don't know, God willing🙏
That is so true. My daughter finished her first year's curriculum in 3 months. I thought I must have done something wrong! I used every opportunity with my children as a teaching moment. Every trip in vehicle regardless of where we went my children were told to grab a book, and I had them read out loud to me. They learned reading comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling and punctuation (plus history or whatever the book was about) as we drove. I taught them how to read maps and learn the freeway system while driving and traffic laws, etc. Going to the grocery store or other stores provided many teaching opportunities as well. You name the activity, and there will always be a way to teach your child something of value the indoctrination centers will never teach them.
I wish I could home school, single father of two.

That's the way all children learned hundreds of years ago. One big, never ending, field trip. :)
If I'd had children, I would have done that. I have a huge, very complete, library.
