[quote=Anonymous]I effectively homeschool my child in math and increasingly take over English too. My experience with elementary grades public school is that curriculum is poorly organized, moves at a very slow pace, and most teachers are mathphobes that don’t have the skill or interest to put together an exciting and challenging math class. I’m also waking up to the fact that language instruction is quite terrible too, particularly in writing. What I found out in public vs diy homeschooling is that at least in math, my child can go at about 3x the rate of learning, covering about three grades in one year. It slows down a bit afterwards, but in some sense public school feels like such a waste of time. I’m looking at a charter school next year that screens students and place them in appropriate grade.
