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 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 are valuable when you go to the US college that WILL excuse the course. Otherwise CLEP are easier tests to do. I knocked out English, math, science, and history with AP and CLEP

Yeah we're doubting AP now too (personally) as the kids may not choose to go to US Colleges. The value of AP comes if you can get credits for these base classes...
