My 1st child is massively in to physics, computer programming, high level math (which I have no trouble keeping up with so far as I have a degree in it, but if I did not, I would not concern myself with relearning it at all), and electronics---the engineering side. My 2nd child is massively in to languages and ancient history. She is studying sign, Latin, and French. She also seems to know just about everything about the Ancients. I have 2 more younger children after them. It is plenty for me to keep up with my end...researching books for them, knowing enough about grammar and spelling to grade their papers, sifting through teachers guide or whatever to teach them, without my having to learn every single thing of interest to all 4 of my children. I would never even have the time to teach it to my children if I tried to learn it all first. That would be insane.
SO...I do teach my children their math, as until they get out of discrete mathematics I should have no troubles and by then, they will ne in college. Both children want MIT for their college of choice. My dh and I went to U of Chicago but there are no engineering programs at the undergrad level there. BUT...if I wanted, I would just purchase a video program or some other online program for their maths. I do purchase those types of programs for their science. I have no interest in knowing that much about that stuff, or to relearn it. I have enough to do with all I do already.Statistics: Posted by LisaMKH — Mon Oct 16, 2006 11:17 am
