7. My husband has a nephew who's sons are now being homeschooled

His Mother told me that he had a hard time in public school and she’s now homeschooling him. She was also homeschooled before high school where she met her future husband who did 12 years public school. I told her that schools also help kids learn social skills but she said he can get them playing with the kids in the neighborhood. The mother is nice but she never went to college and I being a credentialed teacher told her some strategies for teach him which she probably won’t use. She has two other younger boys a 8 month old and another one who is 6 that has some personally issues that will come back to haunt her.

And the kids are being indoctrinated in right wing ideology because Dad is a proud republican because his Dad raised him that way. We don’t discuss politics around them out of family respect.
