10 myths about parents who have decided to do without school

1. We are not particularly loving parents. We just consciously choose for ourselves a more comfortable option — not to needlessly stress about school, her teachers, textbooks, and classmates. We weighed all the "pros" and "cons" and saw that it is "cheaper" to teach ourselves, than to deal with the school.

2. We are not driven by a desire to shelter their children from the "truth of life" in school, we just want kids to be ready for real life, not school. "School prepares us for life in a world that does not exist" © Camus.





 

3. We are not proud of the "feat" and don't look at school the parents down. We sympathize with them, because in fact the problems they have much more than we do. With the development of items and the psychological comfort of the child in school and his health.

4. We have no special pedagogic talents. We are Makarenko not Suhomlinskiy. We are often in a deadlock, when the child does not understand the topic or do not want to do, and through trial and error looking for the right approaches. To the best of his intelligence and talent.

5. We are holders of outstanding intelligence. Any person who has mastered the curriculum in the childhood, the more you will master it in 30 years. For the lazy, there are online courses across the curriculum.





6. We do not have infinite patience. It's hard for us that everything is! But for us it is "less blood" than 10 years to endure school and to clean up school problems.

7. We're greedy. Don't want to buy our children glasses since 9 years and they treat their scoliosis, and immediately buy the same model of phone, what is the "coolest" in the class.

8. We do not consider their children especially gifted. On the contrary, often it seems to us that our children are the least able (parents-homeschooler will understand what I mean :))!

9. We don't want another 20 years to work for their children until they grow up and finally learn something useful. School socialization inhibits maturation, it is a fact. School knowledge is divorced from reality, obviously. We want our children to grow in normal time like it was before the introduction of a universal school service. We want them to 18 years already knew enough to be able to earn a living.

10. We are not going all his time to devote to the children. We want to save your time and nerves, choosing for yourself when and how to teach, not to live by the schedule of the school and its homework. We do not arrange your life children, we are their life adapts to its. It allows children to grow up normally and prepares them for the real independent life.published
