The longer I’m in the workforce, the more apparent it becomes that 18 years of schooling did much less than it could have to prepare me for the real world. Talk about a sub-optimal ROI. So I’m strongly considering home schooling my children. Have you explored this route? Thoughts? 🙏

Ours attend an asynch, online school w/ curriculum run out of Boulder, CO. Good for the basics (especially math, science & language arts imho). But then we teach them day-to-day by being with them, experiencing cultures together, talking politics/current events at every meal, walking around different cities...

I did the IB track and it did help me. I’ve been an expat for 15+ years and worked/lived on several continents in large part because IB primed me for global citizenship and a broad worldview.

I think there is value to AP. Not really sure of the long term value of IB. I've seen some go through it, tons of work and doesn't seem to give an edge later on 🤷‍♀️

AP classes for sure (Geography already under the belt during freshman year). I don't think so for IB...
