That’s what I tell people who are about to have kids or still have young ones at home. I don’t know if I have the smarts to do it as I didn’t do that great in school, but I know today there are a lot more resources and other parents that share it. I wouldn’t even mind volunteering to help some parent. I definitely have skills obviously, just not enough to do a whole curriculum
You don't have to have all the skills. Just find good curriculum. The kids learn to teach themselves and by being in a home school group they have extra resources of people with other skills and experience. We actually did a combination of public (with a transfer), private and some home school. My son is way beyond me, I would provide him resources and a starting point and he would go from there. A guy I've been warning about the schools for years and he kept just dismissing me pretty aggressively is now upset as his youngest daughter is a teen who has been "masculinized" by the pressure to be or appear to be trans. His older kids have been a little tweaked but are full adults now and aren't as tweaked as the current crop is getting. Look at the eyes of a home schooled kid and have a conversation with them, they are bright eyed, curious and generally polite; public school = dead eyes, self mutilation, self loathing, angry and hostile. PS: Classical Conversations looks like a really good way to go with home school curriculum and group learning once a week. If I was starting over now, that's what I would do.
Then again, the murderer in question, had two parents in the home who were both behavioral therapists which rather reinforces my thoughts on the field of psychiatry and the people who typically go all in on it.
I don’t like to pass judgement but it’s been my observation going back as far as when I was in high school but many of the students that were known to have issues at least one of the parents was in social work of some kind or a teacher. As a parent maybe they are just in denial when it comes to their own kids 🤷♀️
Home school your kids or your kid might be the next sleeper to be activated.
