The Curious Mind and Home Schooling
18 March 2008Are you a home schooling parent and you find you have curious genius on your hands and you just smile, because those are an expression of your genes aren’t they? Indeed and such a super star child probably does need a better education so perhaps home schooling was an excellent choice as the new; No Child Allowed to Advance rules might night be the best thing for them.
Now you have another problem and that is your little creative brainchild needs perhaps more than you can give them? They just ask too many very good questions that, well that you really cannot answer without looking it up.
Now you spend all this time learning together and you cannot look up all the questions fast enough? Imagine if your child was in regular school the teacher would have no choice but to ask them not to ask questions or raise their hand unless they are spoken too?
Nothing worse to do to a super child than to put up speed bumps and barriers to their learning and this is what happens often in public schools to these kids. Sometimes they are put into better gifted programs, but often the best way to deal with the curious mind of a super star child is to do home schooling. Consider this in 2006.
