My older daughter went to private school for Kindergarten and First Grade. We then unschooled for a few years, and she spent the next 9 years following her own interests, when she re-entered high school as a Sr. (her choice to transition in to college) she maintained a 4.06 average.<BR/><BR/>Three younger children are following suite with high academics studies (completely self instructed - with little guidance and direction from me). All are managing very well in their own interests, and quite diverse. <BR/><BR/>I'm a work at home single mom, and have encouraged them to work with me in my business and pursue their own interests. All are independent Leadership oriented, and very talented in given areas of interests. Their abilities continue to amaze me.<BR/><BR/>I've heard all the 'educators' condemnations, and to be perfectly honest, I wonder if their issues are self ordained. They feel they had to accomplish a set number of 'things' to get an education, so ALL children should have to do the same. <BR/><BR/>Woe is them.<BR/><BR/>JanJan Verhoeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072891059056634245noreply@blogger.com
