The Joys of Homeschooling
Bobbi and Kenny McCaughey thought that school took so much of a kid’s day with things such as music and art projects that the eight siblings were already doing at home. For this reason, they decided to homeschool their children. They started by choosing a curriculum to structure the kids’ learning, opting for a Christian-based one. They requested all the materials they needed, including student handbooks, workbooks, teacher’s manuals and more, and sent the kids’ work to be graded by a teacher.

There are three options for homeschooling in Iowa, including yearly testing, a teacher that visits a couple of times per year, and homeschool assistance programs that put parents under the thumb of the public school. According to Bobbi, the family was happy to use a supervising teacher that was there for them every step of the way.
