How many home school there children?
We wanted a base for our kid’s education, so we felt like a curriculum that was more intense and more flexible when they were quite young made sense. The twins expressed a desire to go to school in 4th grade and we allowed it and felt like that was right, so that’s what we did with our son as well. We used a lot of abeka materials, but also our own – when our children entered school, they were reading at 8th grade level and our son, for example, was already pretty good in algebra. We had them learn more of what they had an aptitude for, so our girls had some fair art skills at that point as well. And my one daughter was kicking every door down, like she still is – 21 already graduated (nearly a year now) from university and with an art design firm in NY. But the kids read and evaluated the Bible and other classic works – we read the Canterbury Tales and Twain and Dickens and Austin and Shakespeare.
