In homeschool, there is no such thing as boredom.
No such thing as not having enough teaching staff.
No such thing as schedules.
Or budgets.
Or letting kids go unchallenged because other kids need the majority of the teacher's time.

Very frustrated.
(And if you don't know me personally, know that I am also a former public school teacher myself...a former p.s. teacher who is currently very frustrated with the system.)
Maybe you should stay away from John Taylor Gatto's works right now. Then you'll really be frustrated!
ReplyDeleteFrom one public school teacher to another, I totally agree about leaving "behind" the kids who are unchallenged because they are ahead of the curve. So frustrating.
