The following truly rich recommendations: Homeschool your kids if you can. Which is what my family is doing and yes, we struggles but we are tying.
1) No one has more interest in your child’s success than you do. Raising children involves teaching them daily.
2) You are qualified to teach your child. If there is a subject that you are unfamiliar with, that is what the curriculum is for.
3) Homeschooled children consistently outperform their traditionally schooled peers on standardized tests.
4) Children who are homeschooled have superior social skills to their traditionally schooled peers. Traditional school children learn gang mentality and bully tactics on unsupervised or poorly supervised playgrounds. Homeschooled children are supervised. Anti-social behaviors are quickly corrected. Homeschooled children interact better with adults than traditionally schooled children do.
5) With individualized attention home school, children accomplish more in a day than most traditional public schools do in a week.
6) According to the US Department of Education, 1.5 million US families home school their children. The numbers are growing as more and more families are tired of a broken public school system that is barely able to teach.
7) Special needs children receive superior support services at home. This includes needs such as speech, vision, occupational therapy, gifted, autism, and other support services.
8) The number of affluent Americans homeschooling their children is rising. This is due to frustrations over classroom behaviors, lack of learning, and the desire to teach their children as they see fit.
9) The home school offers superior educational experiences to traditional schools. Field trips and travel are just a few of the things homeschoolers offer their kids.
10) Children who are homeschooled work at their own pace. They are not bound to state-mandated curriculums and can advance to higher-level work when ready. The same holds for children who need more work in some areas. Home school children work on mastery of a subject, not just passing grades.
