For my sons 1st grade, I got together with 3 other parents who did not want to send their same age children to the public school, we all worked during the day and could not home school, we hired a teacher who we all approved of, the kids knew each other, it was great. She felt she was not qualified to teach higher than that, but its something to think about if you have young ones, you do not need a degree if you are able to follow a curriculum, and it is good for the kiddos to have some time with a small group of kids their own age with parents of the same religious values and home lifestyles, (organic, no tv or pop culture influences, ) I sent him to Waldorf until 4th grade, public school was a trial for him, he was bullied because of his not fitting in with the mob mentality. After getting attacked on the school bus in 5th grade by kids passing around naked girl pictures and he told them to stop, they shoved condoms down his throat and called him a faggot. He ended up in ER due to latex allergic reaction. The kids got suspended, I enrolled him in Tai Kwan Do, he excelled, gained confidence. Long story short, two of the kids are now in prison for dealing fentanyl, heroin and making meth in their white trash home, facing serious time in Federal Prison. God is Good. I wish he had been spared of that, but he came out stronger, and has tons of confidence, he is capable of snapping a person in half, but he is cool and confident and a very nice man, no simmering resentment, just a good head on his shoulders and strong as an ox.
