Still love you man, but Im tired of seeing all this bantering and griping. I came to see peoples catch since I rarely get to go myself, not read a bunch of men griping about homeschool.

Thanks for the link. If you read the above article, you will notice that the resources for teaching math at home apply not only to the home schooling family, but to any family where the public schools may be leaving the students short of what they need to know.

Most of the resources discussed can also be used in a supplemental role for private or public school students falling behind or struggling in math, or whose teachers are failing to adequately prepare them for college.

Readers may want to consider the info when their students bring home suboptimal test scores or report cards.

All true, but back to the original question. Why post all of this bs on a fishing reports board?

Homeschoolers all get As because the teacher is their parents and they won't fail them.

Not at all true. When a course is outsourced (ALEKS, distance learning, college course, etc.) we assign the same grade as the original course, and use a 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% grading scale for sources that assign percentages rather than letter grades.

I think the lowest grade we've assigned in home school is a C. But my children know I wouldn't be any slower to assign a D or F to them than I ever was when I was a public school teacher.

When I taught in the community college, my rate of assigning Ds and Fs was usually between 10% and 30%, with the higher failure rates for the harder courses.

At the Air Force Academy, I probably recommended more cadets for disenrollment for academic reasons than any other faculty member there.

My teens know there is no one to go whine to if their parents assign a failing grade.

Does no one on a fishing related board have students struggling in math at school?

Why not complain about all the political posts, shooting posts, posts about pot, etc.?

Further, the folks on SC have a unique perspective, are more willing than many to offer honest feedback, and I enjoy the discussions. I can't really think I've gotten a broad base of feedback on any topic without discussing a matter on SC.
