If anyone has kids and needs some help teaching them online English/ geography/ economics PM me, as these are subjects I teach/ have taught.

No charge, just a bit of help and give me something to do during these boring times. Just don't consider it will be a permanent arrangement

 

My wife is putting on two hour school classes for my boy and his 9 first cousins, ages 4 to 14. Reminds me of the old days with one small school house and one teacher for all the grades. Her second day doing it, kids enjoying it.

 

I was going to home school a close relative but that person showed no real interest and nor did the mother. There is a saying 'If the student is willing the teacher will arrive' - so this teacher did not arrive!

But when thinking about how to home school I figured out I could cover the curriculum in a very small amount per day - recently I heard some people on TV discussing home schooling and they do 2.5 hours per day as they worked out that is the actual amount of teaching performed in a school if the time wasted is removed!

 

Hey @PatO,
Check out Khan Academy for FREE online curriculum. It has a very good reputation. Your wife can use it for ideas and the older children can study online directly for free.

It is mostly math and science based which is good considering how poorly math and science is taught here in the Philippines. Social studies can be learned from reading which will also improve reading comprehension.
