Default Re: What is your best advice for a new homeschooler?

Do NOT let anyone~ acquaintance, family, friend~ "guilt" you into thinking you "ruined" your kids. No matter what they try to tell you, not all public school kids know the stuff they think our kids are missing!

both my older kids have learning disabilities and I have been hurt many times by people telling me "they would have done so much better in public school" "teachers in public schools are trained to deal with the disabilities"

If that is the case, why am I STARTING OVER with my 9yo who has been in public school for 2 years and seems to know less now than when I first sent him????? His learning disability was over-looked and undiagnosed! So much for no child left behind. Sorry, I am slipping into vent.

My ray of hope and reassurance is my dd. Sis didn't really understand how to read till she was 12, now at 13, she reads the kids bedtime stories.
Anyway, trust yourself and your kids. They WILL learn, just at their own pace and it will be ok!
