[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After witnessing the virtual school curriculum 1st hand- we’re homeschooling for middle school.  We are a 2 PhD household and expect our child will attend college.

There is quite a large “secular and eclectic” homeschool community and some really excellent curriculum available.[/quote]

I’m in a similar boat. I always thought that the curriculum in a public elementary school in a good district would be good if not perfect, but I was wrong. It is adequate, but thinking about it is like nails on a chalkboard. We started homeschooling in about February last year because of weird behavioral issues that I suspected were related to online learning (and I was right), but we are doing it again because I love that my kid is learning what and how I want them to learn. Which is basically a ton of content (science! Social studies! Novels!) that I try to teach according to the psychology of how human beings learn. I’m not expert but damn I have had fun learning all this stuff and teaching it. [/quote]
