[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are going to have a hard time finding a full time 1-1 teacher to come to your house daily unless you are very wealthy. Even if you are, there is a big teacher shortage and I don’t know any teacher who would be willing to quit their job, give up benefits, and do this.  Many of us were asked to teach in pods or similar during covid.  I’m a teacher and a parent.

But you will be successful finding tutors if you want to homeschool and be the primary person, but you need support. There are lots of homeschooling resources in this area and groups.  [/quote]

I was thinking 3-4 hours a day, my child is in the 1st grade. Perhaps a retired sped teacher, or a part timer from the school system. I can't be the primary person because I have to work full time, as alas, we're not very wealthy. [/quote]

How is your child doing socially, we did pull ours in the teen years but at that point, there were lots of social opportunities and we didn’t need to be worried about childcare. I would be very hesitant to homeschool a 1st grader if you both work full time.  It can be very isolating.  I’d want him involved in lots of activities to be around other kids too.  Mine was at the age he could have a job.

Have you considered leaving him public and supplementing with tutoring? Even if you find a tutor for hours a day, they need to be good, reliable and stay.  That’s the challenge.   [/quote]
