Re: Homeschooling Kindergarten DS Our Story

[Guest guest]

IQ and skills tests will consistently read lower and incorrectly no matter where

you get them done. (Private or school) So, do not waste your money or time.

From what you say and the picture you paint of your son, he seems like he is

doing quite well; but then again, children will most always do better in a

homeschooled environment versus a school environment, as te research shows. I

would definitely keep up the homeschooling.

My son as apraxia and does not do all the verbal things that your son does and

my son is also smart (can tell by the things he does and how he does them) So,

your son is doing very well. Do not pay much attention to those standardized

tests; it is common knowledge that persons with language disorders or

impairments consistently score lower than the " truth " on those tests, even on

the tests specifically created for nonverbal individuals.

I say keep homeschooling, keep up the good work, and beef up the brain skills

even more by getting your child to do skills like 'hop unassisted on one foot

for 10 seconds', etc....etc..... (Skills like this and gallopping and skipping

improve reading readiness and develop strong neural pathways.)

P.S. It is more difficult for a boy to do these things at this age than it is

for a girl; so, if he accomplishes these things, then he is doing very well

indeed.
