As for the amount of time required, I can honestly say that I can get more done in three hours with my ONE child than teachers can do in eight hours with twenty-five to thirty children. I can immediately assess and modify my teaching strategies. A lesson plan in homeschooling is just that, a plan. The objectives will be reached because you are not, as is necessary with a classroom setting, dealing with so many different abilities and attitudes. You can do twice the teaching in half the time and use your free time to get to know your child better.
People believe teachers are better qualified to teach children.
I laugh at that one. Suppose they said that the teacher to student ratio would be one to one, or sometimes even two to one. Then they tell you that they guarantee that their teachers have only your child's best interest and future love of learning in mind. At this school, they don't have to focus on major discipline problems, bomb threats, gun scares, rampant learning disabilities, differing learning styles, or piles of ever-growing paperwork, they could focus totally on your child. You would rush to put your child in their school, and never have a second thought, provided that they delivered on their promises.
