Any links to really thought out and comprehensive articles about HS that seem to not scream BIAS for not-quite-convinced DH?
He is very pro Montessori, against PS but has also been against homeschooling all along.
Basically he had the view that no parent would be able to sit and teach their child for 7-8 hours a day...took care of that myth. :lol And that it would be very hard to transition into the normal system and or college later on...and the whole socialization thing too.
He is OK with the idea of not having a rigid curriculum and the concept of child led hands on learning. He likes the idea of semester or year based goals...basically assuring that there is always some proof that academic concepts are being acquired. I am OK with that.
I gave him a really long "dispel the myths" article from mothering and he read it and semi liked it. He said that it did answer many of his concerns but he still would like for me to find more info that isn't written from a perspective of someone that has such a strong bias PRO HS. Do such articles and sites exist? He is very type A, evidence, stats and fact based and when he starts to detect an agenda, he pretty much largely dismisses the info presented.
Ideas??
