[quote=Anonymous]I think there are families like this but it’s not all like this.

First off, Abeka which I use to supplement our public education has a strong math component. My kid is in 2nd grade and they are already doing multiplication in the pull out worksheets. My MIL is is a liberal and a public school psychologist for 40 years, read through our books and was impressed at the content. She had a preconceived idea.

I did homeschool last year and used this curriculum. The science portion was also strong. The only thing is creationism obviously because it is a religious curriculum. But everything else, food groups, states of matter are definitely in there. I can’t speak to later grades and climate change but for early elementary it’s better than public school on my opinion. Our teacher asked me how he knew so much from last year. He is in gifted now and I can attest it’s to this program.

My cousin who is also a liberal in Colorado homeschools his teacher. I don’t know what curriculum they use. His wife was bullied a lot, had an eating disorder, and she didn’t want her daughter to suffer issues from this. They isolated her from a lot of things until now teen years and she’s involved in a lot of sports, listens to hard rock and colors her hair, typical teen. She also has friends in a homeschool group. If there was abuse it could be almost the same thing as isolation.

The major thing to me about this is abuse. And abuse knows no political persuasion, class or school curriculum.
