Are parents qualified to teach their children?
Yes, most parents have what it takes to homeschool their children. Parents love their children more and know them better than anyone else. They also want the best for their children. It is this love, knowledge and desire that makes the parent well suited to be the teacher for their children. That said, it does take effort to learn how to homeschool. The first thing we study is our children. The better we understand them, the better we will be able to teach them. We also need to study educational philosophies, learning styles, curricula (what kind and what’s available) and how to teach different subjects. So, parents who love their children and are willing to put forth the effort make the best teachers for their children.
You do not need to know everything in order to teach. Our program provides you with a certificated teacher who visits you on a weekly basis and is there for your support. You are also provided with teacher’s editions so that you can learn how to present a lesson and also correct your child’s work. Your example and enthusiasm in learning with your children will motivate and encourage them far more than striving to appear as if you knew it all.
