In some ways, it would have been good to learn how to teach children before homeschooling. But that is a bit hard to do.

@sim I suppose one could go into college for Childhood Education or something

@realcaseyrollins Maybe. Although I imagine it would cost money I don't have. But I do want to look around at resources.

@sim IDK if you are religious (if so, not all of these will be appealing) but some commonly used curriculum in the homeschool community is Abeka, Math U See, Teaching Textbooks, and Sonlight.

There's also the HSLDA, which helps people make sure they can homeschool legally.

@realcaseyrollins I'm not religious, no. Although I would worry about certain ideology creeping into the material like it did in my education which was public. Should probably note that I'm in the UK.

@sim Ah, okay. I suppose the HSLDA would not apply then, that's an American organization.

Most Christian curriculums for math (like Math U See) doesn't have any ideological overtones at all, but a lot of other subjects like History and English do, so I would look out for that.

@realcaseyrollins Yeah... I'll have to look into the programs before giving them to my children or teaching them.
