For example, when my oldest girls were in forth and fifth grade, respectively, they both were working on math that was at the early fourth grade level. But as they've grown up, they've caught on and are working at grade level for their age. This is not stretching the truth. Because my wife and I are the primary educators of our children, we're much more aware of how every experience fits into education. Trips to the grocery store become math and reading lessons.
Vacations are geography and social studies lessons.
Life around the house teaches social interaction skills with people of all ages. Playing outside becomes a science lesson. Fourth, home education provides better socialization than institutional schools . This is an area that most people don't understand. They think we're depriving our children of opportunities to socialize with other kids, and hence opportunities to learn important social skills.
