Micro-schools, Hybrids, Co-ops, and Charter schools
The shift in home education is outsourcing.
Does the vision of homeschool draw and repel you at the same time?
You want this idyllic seeming education for your kids, but the thought of being in charge of it is daunting (and frankly, overwhelming). So you put your ear to the ground and find out that there’s a co-op in your town for homeschool families like yours. You discover that you can drop off your kids for a few hours and someone else will do the “homeschooling” a couple days a week. All you need to do is keep up with homework and do a little extra on the off days.
The idea is that your kids will get the friends they crave, predictable lessons, and you’ll get the support you want to ensure you don’t make mistakes or leave something un-taught.
For many families, this feels optimal! But I also hear some of the frustrations with this model as well. I am going to do a series on this topic for the next few weeks. I hope you’ll join me. [More]
