So often I hear home schooling parents speak of the hardships they encounter when they do not possess the knowledge needed to teach their own children in a given subject. Of course the public school systems is not an option for these parents because they consider it an out of control baby-sitting effort where; No Child is Allowed to Advance. This would include their children who they feel deserve more and by god they intend to see that their children get a real education.

The Public School System argues that with multiple classrooms for Middle School and High School that there are teachers who specialize in the subject matter and can answer all the questions the inquisitive minds will have. You can see the rift as the parents point to the drug abuse, newspaper articles and sexual abuse going on. What is the answer to the best way for the home schooling parents to move their children forward with a good education considering these factors?

Well one answer is for networks of home schooling parents to get together and work in teams as the children get older one parent may be an expert in something and they can teach this to the kids, while another specializes in a different line of endeavor you see. But this also takes teamwork, challenges the home schooling groups and although in the end makes more sense it is a huge burden on the groups. Interesting issues indeed and we must consider this in 2006.
