I'll join for this one post and then I'll get out of your way so I don't crash the party because I'm a grown up now.

Nice to meet you! You don't have to leave if you don't want too, I enjoy when there's people of all ages around

I was hearing bits about the quiverfull movement last night, I don't believe I'd heard of it before (chances are I probably just don't remember though...).

I saw many of my friends exit their homeschooling years very poorly educated. I don't feel like it is a positive thing on a population level. My daughter attends a small local catholic school and we both struggled during lockdown with 'learn at home'.

Interesting. I've always considered public education to be completely worthless. I know 8 year olds right now in school that cannot read, while my 6 year old reads books easily despite being homeschooled

All information is freely available on the internet now, so the only thing schools need to do is instill a genuine love for learning, some discipline, and some work ethic, but they don't

Schools merely make children hate learning

Public schools are prisons for kids that prepare children for a lifetime of wageslavery working 40+ hours a week. Homework on the other hand is preparing children for working unpaid overtime as employees in the future

Heh same, I need to exit gracefully. We should probably have a parent's homeschooling thread somewhere

I'm 34 woman, married, with 1 daughter age 11. I was homeschooled until I went to university (college) at age 18, although I'd been working for 2 years before I went to university.

I have 4 brothers and 1 sister and I am the oldest. I was raised fundamentalist evangelical in the quiverfull movement.
I generally view being homeschooled as a positive for me individually. I feel I got a very good education and I did well at university. My mother was the main reason for my good education, she was a very good teacher and tried very hard. She went on to become a public school teacher. We mostly followed the A Beka curriculum, with a bit of this and that thrown in.

My mathematics is not good, however I doubt that would have been any different if I attended the public schools of the era.

I saw many of my friends exit their homeschooling years very poorly educated. I don't feel like it is a positive thing on a population level. My daughter attends a small local catholic school and we both struggled during lockdown with 'learn at home'.

That's my little publicly shared life story. If any of you want to chat further I'm happy to be there for you. I've been on quite the journey, questioning my faith, losing my faith, and finding my faith again but in a very different way than how I was raised. I still self identify as Christian. If any of you find in the future, or now, that you'd like someone to talk to who has very much walked closely in your shoes, and will certainly share my experience and never judge, I'm here for you.

Blessings

Very nice to meet you!

She's only two. We drained her stomach and gave her healthy stuff. She's doing better, but it's a lifelong thing. Summer time we'll probably have to keep her in the garage with a fan, or else she might die (And that's literall)
