Congrats on being able to have the resources necessary to make that happen. I call that a luxury.

Agreed! I'd actually like to do more homeschooling podcasts, would you be interested? My wife and I are homeschooling 3 children (soon to be 4).

I was homeschooled all the way through high school (back before the concept was close to popular) and now home school my three sons. Trust me, it’s no luxury, it’s a decision and a commitment which forces you to do certain things, not do certain things, etc But I have long told my wife, the day the US gov tells us we have to put our kids in public school is the day I’m leaving for another country.

Seems reasonable to me.

Do you have a particular curriculum that you are following and how do you organise the day for the kids? Eg what time do they start and what time do they finish?

We homeschooled our son (now 33) for the first 2 yrs. (Just did the 3 R’s and sprinkled in history, art, geography, phs ed. Whatever we felt like. Guess we did alright - he got into USC (which was a mistake IMO and another story..) Then took him out of school about 30 days a yr for whatever reasons - went to RE closings, lawyers, our pizzerias, maybe just goofed off on nice days - until around 8th grade. (Girls and sports) Best thing we ever did. I should have done it longer. You never get those years back. Enjoy them while you have them- it goes all too quickly.

Some of the homeschool families in my parish do "pods" and work together, taking turns,, teaching different things, following a classical education curriculum, including Latin and Greek and reading all the important old things. Those kids are doing great. Letting the government have any access to our children is a very bad idea. Interesting rabbit hole to understand what our government schools really are: look up the 48ers.

Devils advocate.. they’re missing the social aspect, relationships, competition. You also must have the means to do it

How dare you not let a blue haired lesbian trans your kids.

i should have had my awakening sooner - guess everyone gets here at their own pace

Its normal. Oldest in college. Youngest just starting. And we did it against government wishes. In the US it is a no brainer.

I casually expressed my interest in this in work and you'd swear I took out a pistol and shot someone

Seems kinda obvious when you think about it
