Ask HN: How are you educating your elementary aged children?

6•ychandler•1mo ago

Hi folks! We are pretty set on continuing in public school. I totally understand that we should focus more on social / emotional and extra curricular front. As it comes to academics, how have you supplemented their education besides the standard Kumon/Russian School of Math / Singapore Math?

Hearing lots of “stuff” around alpha school and AI enabled learning but have people tried something they liked? We have tried 1. Stuff like Tynker 2. We love Khan Academy kids 3. Haven’t tried any of the subscription box stuff yet

For the most part I'm keeping them away from addictive technology and in the real world, with the hope that they learn social and language skills.

The idea being that social and linguistic skills are the most common attribute among successful people.

In today's world corporations and untested technology are the main dangers to your kid.

By being involved. To many parents, IMHO, pass the responsibility to a third party. If you show interest and involvement they will naturally take it serious. Not to say that some might develop the passion on their own, but if you are present, checking homework, discussing topics etc. It will show.
