Not my kids - but my precious grandbabies! Granny will be retiring early so these sweet babies don't get indoctrinated at public indoctrination centers!
I just read this Article and said, I wonder if my kid would let me school her children if I gave up my business gardening for people?. Then here you are doing the same. I’d have support.
Could anyone give me an example of what a home school time requirement for a 2nd grader and that of an 8th grader? I have a stay at home wife and a mother in law with time.
My daughter homeschooled her two children last year. She spent about a total of three to four hours/day. But that included breaks and lunch. She was also getting them caught up because of the poor public school education they had been subjected to.
Our kiddo is in elementary school. We average about 9 hours per week on school work (that does not include the breaks, and we generally take a break every hour).
About an hour per grade level for the elementary years. First grade? Spend an hour--short reading lesson, quick math skill with some computation. Fourth grade? Maybe four hours, IF they can handle it. Maybe that's too long, depending on the kiddo. Just focus on getting one or two things done well each day. Everything else is gravy.
Great information OP!
For those on the fence or haven't even looked into that possibility yet here is a glimpse. I taught my 2 kids last year for under $100 total. There are curriculums that are donation based or are very affordable. You don't even technically need a fancy curriculum, lots can be pieced together (this can be overwhelming but the beauty is they give free samples so if you don't like it for your kid you can always change it up). Homeschooling is so freeing you can be as hands on or hands off as you like. Hands off curriculum for those that also need to work and really don't have the time, will be more expensive but totally worth it. If you put it in perspective to private school a really good curriculum that can be done by just the student is under 1k. I encourage parents to take back their children and give their kids the best life possible. You CAN do it!
IMO - One parent volunteer in every room would help a lot. As a teacher, I would love a volunteer! As a parent who volunteered before becoming a teacher, I would never have put my kids in a class I couldn't have volunteered in.
If a teacher doesn't want the help, you need to be there or get your kids out!
I want to assure all parents that homeschooling is much, much easier than distance learning. If you had a bad experience with distance learning during the covid lockdowns, do not fear. If you survived distance learning, you'll be a wizard at homeschool.
I'll go one step further for you, my anon fren. Here's James Lindsay's YT acct, New Discourses. In it, you'll find all sorts of info and podcasts related to Greomer Schools and the current state of the world's education systems, but specifically what's happening in U.S. schools. And it isn't relegated to just the public school systems, either.

WE CAN DO IT!! It's worth retiring early to take care of those precious kiddoes!
Great!
This is what families SHOULD be.
The nuclear family is not normal.
Normal is grandparents, parents, children.
The children will grow up so much healthier surrounded by so much more love.

I am a teacher (a good one, I promise!). I am willing to help, give ideas and answer any questions.
Nah I'll just feed my precious innocent children to the government. Ffs what is wrong with people.
Nope. Stopped reading right there.

As Lindsay likes to say, "We love in Herbert Marcusa's world, and our kids go to Paolo Friere's schools."
If you don't know those two names, Marcusa and Friere, I HIGHLY SUGGEST you get to know them as well as you can, as fast as you can.
I might make a post breaking Lindsay's work down for the greater GAW crowd, but until then, get to listening and reading. Lindsay knows his shit.
