Another question we’re frequently asked about homeschooling is whether we plan to keep ahead or even just keep up with the goblins in each subject we cover–i.e. do we plan to keep our knowledge of each subject ahead of or at least equal to the goblins’ progress? This question comes up frequently in homeschooling groups or forums as well, and I’m continually surprised by how many respond that they don’t feel any need to stay ahead or keep up after a certain point, often the beginning of the high school years. This seems to come up most often in regard to math, and many parents (but not most) freely admit that their children have surpassed them so they just buy the textbooks and leave the kids to it.
