My top 16 tips for beginning homeschoolers
*** begin quote ***
Taking on the education of your children is a daunting task, and most of us need simple baby steps to get started. Here are a few that have worked for me and other homeschooling families.

I wonder if parents and students realize that they are “home school ers” by definition?
As a fat old white guy injineer, I judge processes by their output. (By their fruit, ye shall know them.) I’d call “schooling” a defective process both on a basis of statistics about the output and anecdotally by talking to young people who’ve “graduated”.
Ever talk to one of these exemplars?
Can they match up in the world? With their elders? With historical evidence?
Nah, not even close!
So, if parents and students do NOT realize that they are getting a sub-standard education, then they are NOT going to realize that they need to supplement.
Those, that do realize, are running around doing “enrichment”.
Karate, dance, and a myriad of other activities are filling that need.
So parents, who love their children, better be “homeschooling”.
