How do you feel about homeschool?
I find homeschooling quite remarkable and challenging. It is very difficult you always have to upgrade, read. I find that no one curriculum is great and perfect for a child; it’s a mix and match.

The beauty of it is, your child do master Math, Writing and Reading if it is done the correct way. Your child does not know their limits when it comes to learning - no one to tell them. He has the ability to learn almost anything – He Loves to learn.

I personally do not believe in letter grade of A or F grade. Its either you know it or not. No disrespect to our youth but many of our youth are just perfect "parrots" they don't know how to break a math problem down. Example: 3/4 of 25 they may be able to work the problem but they could not tell you or show you why?

People ask me about social skills: well my son has groups of homeschoolers he interact with. He competes in martial, plays his violin or piano in church and have friends in church, Sucks at basketball, but we are getting there. The main thing is we have each other, “a family”. Right now he teaches himself to draw and animation and to speak Mandarin. He received a Semi-scholarship for this summer to learn more animation.

He is learning at an early age how to interact with babies, children his age and adults, pay bills, grocery shop, laundry (life skills) – Soon he will be volunteering at the Home of the Elders and in the future I hope he takes his skills he learn and help his community. For now, the most beautiful thing is he is still learning and his baby brother learning from him.

I'm the first to say like everything else there are individuals that does homeschooling the wrong way. Then I have to say there is just too much going in public school besides young people learning to read and write.

This is a learning process for me - I am just learning and doing what I can for my sons being their advocate. Because I want more for them, our community and I find it ”insane” to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect results.
I'm proud individual and I love my wife and two sons and sometimes someone has to make that sacrifice.
