Me, a homeschooling mom: that's not how homeschooling works.....
I was homeschooled. My mom and a bunch of other parents started a homeschool co-op. We often had parents apply to get in and eventually our selection process had to get quite strict. I've been on the other side of this and let me say it's equally funny. We would get parents who came to us expecting the care and resources they got from a standard school with all the customization of homeschooling. They thought they could just pay for it instead of volunteering. Like no ma'am we don't need your money. We need your time. If you can't put the work in then put them back in school!
Part of the pleasure of homeschooling (which I did for 8 years) is NOT worrying about what the school is doing!
As a parent who homeschooled three kids from k-12, let me assure you that most homeschoolers want pretty much nothing from the public school system other than to be left alone.
All homeschool moms are scratching our heads right now 🤣
Um, I don’t think this was a dig at homeschool parents. I think it was a joke about this scenario and how some people expect the moon and the stars from teachers, even if it is none of their responsibility.
I plan week to week as a homeschool mom. But I’d never ask a public school for their curriculum - hence the reason why we homeschool is to stay away from that.
I’m a homeschool teacher and I have never heard of anyone doing this.
Okay I’m sorry, homeschooling would have REALLY HELPED ME as a child. The school system FAILED ME. I was autistic and had ADHD, both undiagnosed, and for YEARS all I heard from my teachers was that I “wasn’t applying myself” while I CONSTANTLY struggled in most classes while also being bullied nonstop. I’m 33 and I STILL have nightmares about not passing high school. The amount of kids with ADHD and ASD (and others) who are constantly overlooked and bullied by even teachers is gross. The second my 8 year old nephew was put into public school, the teachers insisted that he be put on Adderall before they would even attempt to work with him. So cool, let’s put kids on freaking speed so they pay attention better. Like, I get it. Teachers have a lot on their plates, but so these freaking struggling kids who are constantly just “frustrations” to all the adults in their life. My friend’s 11 year old daughter was constantly punished by her teacher in public school for the severe ADHD issues she was having, now that she’s been homeschooled her entire life has changed. Please keep in mind that homeschooling truly works better for A LOT of children. If I had had that option when I was a kid, I probably wouldn’t have been riddled with anxiety and suicidal from the way I was treated by peers and teachers and maybe I could have understood the shit they were trying to teach me. Ugh sorry, I’m sure you’re a great teacher, I’m just tired of people ragging on homeschooling. I’m sorry if you had to deal with an ignorant parent like this, but to lump all homeschooling parents into one category sucks. Sometimes the public school system FAILS neurodivergent children. It’s made for neurotypical children who are able to learn in only the way that the school system allows teachers to teach.
Homeschool moms dread this type of mom as well.
As a homeschooling mom of many years, I can tell you no good homeschooling parent would do this!
We homeschooled our children. I was a high school teacher in Georgia. What was most surprising to me was how many of my colleagues homeschooled their children. To me it says a lot about the current state of public schools.
Sounds like a great side-gig! Send them the weekly consulting fee up-front. Pay up, concerned parents!
I have homeschooled for 8 years now and I have never met a parent that has decided to homeschool and even considered asking the former teacher for lesson plans as most homeschoolers do it to get away from the public school and thier lesson plans
I homeschool, and once I decided to do so, I cut off all contact with the school and the teachers.
How often does that happen? I've never met a homeschool mom that would make a suggestion like that (excluding during pandemic virtual school times).
I have been homeschooling my children for 9 years, I am involved in two co-ops and know many homeschooling families... none of which ask the teachers for ANY kind of lesson plans, school books Etc.. I am a full-time teacher at home and part-time registered nurse I wouldn't have it any other way I cherish each and every moment with my children.
Pulling my kids out of school and homeschooling them was and still is the BEST decision I’ve made for my family. I never asked for any teacher’s input; I didn’t do it to bring the school system to my home.
Reading these comments makes me yet again grateful for my mother. She homeschooled me and was serious about it. She took child development classes, got great materials and went to homeschooling conventions. I wish more people had experience with the parents that put in the hard work!
I homeschool my youngest due to an autoimmune disorder. I have to present a lesson plan to the homeschool office of the school district. I pay for everything myself and I pay at the end of each school year to have my son tested for each grade. It is my choice to homeschool and it's my responsibility to keep my kid on track.
