Is My Child "On Track"?
Ever ask that question? Seek out what your child “should be learning” at a specific age or grade? You’re not alone! Sorting kids strictly by age was invented during the 19th-century Industrial Revolution to make factory-style public schools run more efficiently. It ignores the fact that children develop on their own unique biological and emotional timelines.
Forcing a child into a strict grade level creates unnecessary pressure on you and them, leaves learning gaps, or causes total boredom. The beauty of homeschooling is that you can completely dismantle this factory model!
Foster a lifelong love of learning and don’t focus on what "on track" means? How? Build a learning-rich environment, create opportunities for mixed-age interactions and real-world learning, let your children pursue their passions, and finally stop worrying about whether a topic is "grade-appropriate" according to state standards. What’s most important is to develop a love of learning!
When you free your kids from arbitrary grade levels, you allow them to learn at their own perfect pace and you free your family up to create lasting memories while enjoying the learning journey. It’s a “Better Way to Teach” and easy to implement using MyTeachingLibrary.com.
