[quote=Anonymous]We’ve always supplemented with the goal that school is a sort of review. DH is East Asian and was raised this way and it worked for him in getting a PhD so why not (in effect school is supplementing the education we provide as parents). I think what most people miss though is that everything a parent does with a child is education. Spending the day in the woods out back or on the water is much better than just reading about the natural sciences. Speaking a second language at home is better than speaking it in a classroom for an hour a day three days a week. Discussing history and geography while in the garden or working on a project in the basement, etc, etc. We also have well stocked shelves in our library that cover everything and when asked a question neither of us know an answer to, we research it together. Bottom line is that my children’s education is my responsibility.[/quote]
