As I have stated here before, I do not have a problem with homeschooling if a parent is educated and organized themselves. This has gotten me thumbs down from many of you. Ok, to each his own. Now I would like you to help me understand something.
I have a child who is struggling in school. He is rarely attends, and when he does he is dirty and poorly dressed. (No underwear, pants too large, broken zipper..) He never finishes his work (I give him work at his level, not above it.)
His father is little help, his letters go like this, "mi sun hrted his ne he ant gona be in scool tooda." and he tells me that he, "Can't get the child to do no work." The mother is not in his life, there isn't any other family.
Friday I was told that the child would be homeschooled next year! When I asked if the father was really prepared for this task, the local home school group started complaining. How can people who say they care about education actually condone this educational setting?
