The schools just straight up suck. We had to do remote learning when they closed the schools initially and it was eye opening. We thought we were doing a poor job since we only had about 2 hours a day to spend on it, but when we talked to the teachers they told us we were ahead of the schedule. We were shocked. This was at a private Christian school too. Last school year we put them into a charter school and we pulled them a few months ago because our kids learning metrics actually got worse and the teachers were giving our kids A's. When asking g the teachers at parent/teacher meeting about it, we were told it's normal. Pulled them that day.
It's actually crazy how much home schooled kids learn in 1 day vs public school kids, or even private school. In those places the kids can't get 1 on 1 learning with the teachers, they can't get the help they need. But home schooling fixes that, AND gets them to learn more than twice as much in every single day!
Home schooling can be done from 9am-12pm and be done with every lesson! The rest of the day can be used for play or learning skills like cooking, sewing, carpentry, whatever the kids have interests in. Or use the remaining hours for field trips or socializing with fellow home school kids and families.
Honestly this way of learning sounds like a dream and I wish I had gotten it when I was kid. No bullying, no useless drama in school to distract you from learning, etc.
THIS is a great point! It's so sad to see so many kids so demoralized because they're stuck sitting down for 8 hours a day. They could do so much and be better more productive members of society if there was more homeschooling.
