RE: 3 Lies Most Homeschooling Dads Believe (at some point in time)

As I think about it, I don't think I had any preconceptions about homeschooling, other than what I brought myself. I only came across other views on it when I started looking into it for my girls and those views were coming from other homeschooling parents. I started homeschooling from a background of experience in a Waldorf school (thankfully that's more compatible with homeschooling than public schools) and a little experience helping out in my daughters public school classes. It took me a while to learn that education the school way isn't the only way to educate. I nearly put my youngest daughter off reading for life, continuing with the school way that was failing her initially.
We took our girls out of the school system because it wasn't working for them. It was failing them in completely different ways. My eldest wasn't getting enough stimulus and I was practically teaching my youngest at home anyway, so she could understand the work she was getting in school.

Thanks for sharing a bit about your homeschooling journey. I am glad to hear that you have found the right educational fit for your kiddos.
I appreciate how homeschooling allows my wife and I to let our kiddos to follow their passions and strengthen up their weaknesses. One of our daughters was struggling with reading as well. We made a change in curriculum (which used a different learning philosophy) and in a short amount of time she was off and running. Prior she hated to read.
Thanks for stopping by. Look forward to engaging more with you in the future.
