My son and his wife had four natural children but they wanted to help other children. In four of them, they added nine total thirteen. Four are of mixed race born of unwed teenagers. The other five are black Haitian children.
I am a product of the public school system who are my kids five. I was surprised to learn that thirteen of our 32 grandchildren were home schooled. It seemed strange to me. For one, a young mother needs some time to herself. Teaching all day does not fulfill that idea. A woman my son can not start the kids out the door and sit back and watch TV.
Moving to Idaho and be much closer to our son and his family I soon learned that my son and his wife do not trust the school system. The other day I heard my son say, to my surprise, that the current system was not designed to develop each child to the highest of their ability. Rather, it is to be an elite category and employees.
my son and his wife also do not adversely affect the public school system. My wife and I think children should face the effect, if they correct the error with teachers and parents. Be that as it may, home schooling is the best situation for my son and his wife here in Idaho.
Haitian my grandchildren reach the age of eight to eighteen. They have had to overcome both physical and cultural problems. Raised on the streets of the Haitian capital, the older ones are street-smart and they can be secretive and self-protective.
Most children learn at a normal pace. Some do not. I do not think that all children be successful in the regular school system. Children adopted at a younger age would adjust quickly to the public system.
All the children, except the four youngest, play the piano, violin, and some play guitar and other instruments. The two oldest girls natural birth in adult symphony. Three play in the youth symphony (two adopted). One grandson plays in both. Oldest grandson here in Idaho is on full scholarship in music in high school.
family together has formed a musical group that sings and plays here in Southern Idaho. They take gifts for baby formula for an orphanage in Haiti. If you want to contribute to the cause please email me.
child (of eight) are good cooks, know how to clean the house, and carry out chores. Most all of them are doing well in their home schools tested by the state Idaho.
other our grandchildren are all in the public school systems. We have one autistic disorder teenage son who was raised in the public school system. Fortunately for him, his school system has an efficient system for autistic children. It is not a separate program. Autistic children attend the same classes as other children, but special assistants keep things in order and learning.
my son and his wife are effective in educating highly talented (approved and natural) and not as gifted children. To do so, they used home schooling.
