Homeschooling is a crap-shoot. Sometimes, it's amazing and the kid really benefits from it. Other times, it's code for "playing basketball all day." A lot of the kids I've seen that were homeschooled were a least 1 to 2 years behind in their subjects but I've seen some that were a year or two ahead. The problem is that it really depends on the kid's parents... and a lot of them just aren't capable of teaching their kids.

The problem with the word "spanking" is that the definition varies so wildly between users. It could mean a swat but it might be a beating.

You might be referring to unschooling, which can be surprisingly effective if done right. That's where you let kids do what they want and read a lot. Sometimes it means playing basketball all day.

As for how they keep up with other kids there ages: that's one of the main reasons homeschooling exists. So that kids don't have to all fit into one pre-described standard. I mean, some kids just can't read until their 10 but nothing's really wrong with them. In school they get left behind and labeled special needs. At home they learn visually or orally and when they learn, they learn. No pressure.

AYART

I taught school for a couple of years between undergrad and grad school. ^_^

...I was definitely referring to homeschooling. (Their parents were so upset that they weren't the stars of my classroom. I had to listen to so many howling renditions of 'But I taught them myself!)

No one left my classroom without being on grade level and able to read, write, and do arithmetic. (And there were several kids who couldn't do any of that when they walked through the door.) It involved appealing to as many learning styles as possible and keeping a close eye on everyone's advancement and a *lot* of conversations with parents but it's certainly doable. It always offends my sensibilities to hear about teachers who aren't as worried about making sure that the kid will be successful in their classroom and all the ones that come afterwards. (I'm not calling you a liar because I know it happens but it irks me beyond words.)

But, that said, as a child I attended a school where everyone progressed at their own pace. You moved up when the headmaster said that you were ready. There was a girl in my class who was in the third year for a year and a half and in the fourth year for the same amount of time. But she was good to go when she finally made it to the fifth grade. I honestly think that more schools should be run along those lines, even though it's probably only feasible in tiny village schools.
