[quote=Anonymous]It seems that even the schools are moving toward the "reversed school day" (or whatever fancy term they're using) where the kids watch their lessons on-line, and then get together to discuss things and work on their homework. The teachers say this gives them more one-on-one time with students, and more ability to differentiate within their classrooms. You might want to consider how you could incorporate this, especially for the older kids. Then the teacher could be more of a tutor. There are plenty of former teachers who have stopped working to have kids, and might want to go back part-time at a lower-stress environment such as the one you described without having to work for people like 18:08. Sheesh! It's time to start thinking about how we can school our children more effectively and efficiently. Don't listen to anyone who is in the system if they think it's working for everyone. If I had, my kids wouldn't have the great education, busy social life, and amazing sports/music skills they do today thanks to all the benefits of homeschooling. [/quote]
