Thanks for these wonderful words of encouragement! I want nothing but best for my kids and I hope the sacrifice would be worth it in time.
I see your kids have gone far. Now who wouldn't want that for your own children?

I'm here if you ever need any advice... I followed you. My teaching style is simple. If you lecture, kids lose interest fast. You know your own kids better than any teacher, so you can design your lessons accordingly. For subjects such as history, or science, I had my kids read something and write me a paper about it. Then we would go over it and correct for grammar, spelling etc. This helps develop writing skills as well as critical thinking, They have to think about what they're writing, rather than just parroting something from a lecture.
I have a good friend who was a professor where I went to college. He left teaching and went to work at a think tank in Michigan. There he does studies on education... He interviewed the heads of Human Relations depts at major corporations such as GM, Ford, etc. They said the biggest problem they have finding qualified people coming out of college is- Nobody can write clearly. This is because they just don't teach it in schools anymore. The greatest gift you can give your kids is a good education... it will give them a leg-up later on in life!
Thanks @richq11! I have followed you back. I will definitely need help/advice on this and it is great there are people like you to support. 😍
I think a good education is the greatest gift we can give out kids! Always happy to help!
