Every subject other than English but 6 months in I got close to perfect scores on the Texas standardized test in Reading/Writing. Learned English very fast because I was embarrassed of not speaking the language. 0 accent now, worked very hard to not have an accent

When they made little kids wear masks that 100% pushed us over to homeschooling, I saw many parents disagree with muzzling up their little kids but still sent them off with the rest of the the herd instead of standing up for their kids. There were lots of teachers here protesting schools...

I've seen way more high kids in US schools than drunk kids anywhere else

Education here is a lot easier/behind pace our top rivals, China and Russia. Here standards are lowered to make everyone pass and participation trophies are handed out left and right. I went to school in Russia K-5 and when I can to the US the teachers could not believe how far ahead I was in...

Most common excuse for not home schooling kids I hear is no time/need to go to work. More people would consider it I think if both parents didn't have to work full time. It's sad that so many people think they can't do a better job than the government at teaching their kids

We have a couple of public school teacher friends, one left her job to home school her kids as she did not want her kids going to the school she got to see first hand at what goes on. The other one highly recommends we do anything other than the public school and wishes she could leave the job...

You must have not heard the way big city public school kids talk :roflmao:

There are many resources to teach the more advanced subjects, homeschooling programs, tutors etc, going by a textbook. An average adult should be able to grasp and learn those subjects as they teach the child, stay one chapter ahead of the child

What do you call politicians sending billions to other countries? is that not stealing? Crime is increasing, public education is going downhill, the military doesn't have a competent commander in chief. Lets through more tax money at it, maybe that will fix everything home school for my kids...
