Quote:What are you teaching them that public school isn't? Besides anti-social behavior.


Also, why are you piping in at all if you don't have children in the system?

 

You are speaking from a position of extreme ignorance. Shameful.

 

My children are not in the system because the system does not meet my standards.

 

What am I teaching them that public school isn't? We work at the pace of our children's interest and ability, based on the Montesorri style. For example, my oldest is adept at mathematics and showed an interest in physics at a young age, so we started teaching him physics when he was in the 4th grade.

 

Quote:To add to this, and I could be wrong.  I believe that most colleges require a student to take some kind of entrance exam (SAT/ACT).  Home-schooled and charter-schooled children probably do better on average.

 

True. Home schooled children do typically score higher.
