I want to know what real teachers think about home
schooling. I personally had very bad experiences in public
school. Looking back I blame my parents for encouraging
mistrust of authority and being generally unhelpful when I
struggled with emotional problems. I can see now that my
teachers did everything they could.

I'm about to buy a packaged pre-school/kindergarten
curriculum for my 3 year old. I'm excited about starting
the program, but I'd like some outsiders opinions on it. I
feel that most sites are strongly biased in favor of home
schooling and I really want another view point.

I also want advice as to the possibility of placing him in
public school later. What would you want a parent to do to
prepare their home schooled child for public school?

Thanks bunches,
Mrs. Ryals

I am a psychologist---so I cannot speak to the daily classroom
aspect of things directly, but certainly can make arguments for
the special education needs and children with specific learning
difficulties.

I believe home-schooling is only as good as the parent(s) who
provide it for their children. So...See More

Would you give your own child a root canal? How about set his bone
should it break? Would you rebuild your emgime if were to break? If
not, why would you educate your own children? Breathing is easy, but
the ability to breathe does not make one a respiratory specialist.
I am a reading specialist and to summariz...See More
