Homeschool parents and their kids spend a great deal of time together, and much of that time is spent taking on roles other than the usual parent-child relationship. On bad days, Emma, a recent homeschool mom, reminds herself that, even the year James had a wonderful teacher when he was in public school, he d occasionally come home with a complaint. As a highly committed parent considering homeschool, you must also ask whether you possess the talents to teach. We have all known teachers who were better or worse than others, and quite often the difference is not in levels of dedication or education. The biggest difference is talent.
Some people know immediately how to explain things in just the right ways.
They ask the questions that make us think. They respond to our confusion with clarifying examples. They adjust their methods to our needs. Many such talented people work in the public school system. Some are at home, working one on one with lucky children.
