Guest guest Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I lived in Puerto Rico for 9 years with two teenagers, and while they went to a private school, I met many parents and kids that had done home schooling - mostly with the Calvert system. All were seemingly doing better than the local public school system. Years later, my then wife and I cruised for 3 years in a catamaran in the Caribbean. We met many families with kids of varying ages, and most were also using Calvert. We have kept up with a few of these families, and in every case those kids easily surpassed the " public school " kids academically. And, that was done with 2-3 hours a day " classes. There is no doubt that " yachtie " kids also got a lot of " different " education in ship handling, navigation, work around a boat, etc, and many learned from adults. All in all, as a psychologist, I would have to recommend home schooling over most " public schools " education today, and that is especially true for an ADD-Autism kid.
