Re: Does homeschooling provide a quality education?
hmmm.... as there is no homeschooling option in El Salvador, I really couldn't tell you, but, they say Guatemala does have an option to do that and, what the government does is send you the curricula, so that you have at least a guide as to what to teach...I've heard of a woman that did this and, when she did send her children to school, they were ahead of the rest of the classes...
If a kid does not have siblings or cousins that live nearby, I feel a homeschooling parent has to take the socializing factor into consideration and try to provide the opportunities for social interaction, which can be "extra-curricular" classes or church groups or just plain play groups with other children...
I would never homeschool, precisely because I know I cannot provide a quality education myself...(I lack the patience, and I'm not sure I have the knowledge, either!)
