Chellenging: Getting their attention that long.

Rewarding: Getting their attention that long.

I joke a little, but seriously, homes are distracting. It's where all the videogames, food, siblings and windows are.

But at the same time, it's rewarding to spend that time with them; and to provide for them education on things that the public school can't or won't teach them, like civics, advanced mathematics, Native American history, and extra art.

It's sad I have to include this caveat, but I want to make clear that I'm not advocating for homeschooling as a replacement for public school, but as an addition or complement to it.

    as an addition or complement to it.

    Our public school district offers a hybrid home school program for this. You can do core subjects at home, and then the kids attend a branch campus for classroom-based electives like music or robotics. It's really sweet.
