Uhh, "special education" =/= educating an otherwise brilliant child who can't emotionally handle the classroom environment. How many special ed kids graduate ahead of their classes?Agreed. That is why we have special education classes.How about this? NO ONE SOLUTION WORKS 100% FOR EVERY STUDENT. We have to have options, because the government school "sit down and shut up" model doesn't work for all students.Yes, and very few people are educated and organized to make that happen. If homeschooling works for you, great! I just can't stand morons like the OP who thinks anyone and everyone should be doing it. As a teacher, I was stuck with students who failed at homeschooling.Home schooling, just like parenting in general, requires forethought and determination to be done well.A good number will return because their parents are not capable of homeschooling. If my Facebook is any measure, not a single person I know enjoyed homeschooling.It will be interesting to see how many children actually return to public schools when reopened, and from what social class.
You mean their parents failed.
It ain't easy. On the other hand, with all the online courses and services offered, if you can read you can homeschool.
Online courses sometimes do not work, as you do not get any discussion. Also, many people struggle with online instructional material. My son took one class online, and he was a "B' student but could not handle a course that would normally be well below his ability. He managed because I taught the course to him instead of the teacher who never seemed to be available.
