Home schooling the JREF way

Yeah, sorry.
Currently at work, I'm surrounded by people who, everytime there is a problem, situation or whatever comes up, always come up with something like 'why don't you just' or 'why don't they just'. Their solution usually is simple, short and wrong. I just lashed out.

Paradoxically, I'm sort of assuming it's too complicated for us to tackle, so fobbing it off a bit.

I have been asked to help out with skeptical homeschooling or tutoring locally, and it's important to understand what the kid needs to learn as core material for the standardized testing, and then secondly, to understand his career interests and supplement with that sort of material.

If the kid isn't really interested in these subjects and they're not required to pass the levels, loading up science topics sort of defeats the purpose of homeschooling as an investment in the kid.

Turns it into just as much a parent's projection / vanity project as a religious curriculum would be.
