I got sick of what was being taught to my child & I now home school. Sassy had a few good teachers but as she was advancing in grades I knew I didn't like what I was seeing taught in her school. Her health was the main issue & now she isn't sick all the time. I saw teachers when my older children were in school that weren't fit to be teachers. In fact some of the teachers I had in high school were still there & still hungover. I may not have teaching skills but we are learning quite a bit & I feel my child is safer home & getting a better education.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am sooooo glad to hear that Sassy’s health has improved.

Also, please remember that even when your children did attend school, 99% of what they learned was at **home**.

Institutional schools teach very little in the classroom. Most learning is due to the child and parents’ efforts in the home. The institutional school is mostly just sending home a curriculum for the parents to follow. The real learning happens at the kitchen table.
