They are all different ages so it's not like teaching a class full of kids at the same level. I only have 4..... and if I suddenly had twins I don't know how I would manage! The Duggars could have "sheltered" their older girls and kept them around for "slave labor" like some people said..... but to their credit, they did not. I am sure Michelle could homeschool them all by herself. But since she can afford help....she should hire help! She could buy a Lexus or a trip to Europe but she bought a tutor instead. Good grief, people. She probably gets to sleep 7 hours a night now instead of the 5 hours she has slept for the past 15 years.<br /><br />And seriously. It is ungodly that they have a governess? Are high school proms, ungodly? Mixed gendered soccer teams? Seriously?Stephanieqwertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433365818650445701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-58176649296026856592016-10-25T11:13:37.440-05:002016-10-25T11:13:37.440-05:00If you ask me the older grls did quite a lot.My mo...If you ask me the older grls did quite a lot.My mother had 10 children,my father worked out of town weekly.My mom did it all when I see one of the older girls getting up to help one of the little ones in the middle of the night sick.

With no TLC series and contracted filming schedule, no babies or impending pregnancies, less children to school, and using SOS, why the need for a tutor now? Heading off personal attacks like some of those above, we've home schooled for 11 years. I have homeschooling friends with 11 children (2 of them autistic), living very frugally on a single income. They have no tutor, nor anyone coming in to help with laundry. The older children are not regularly expected to act as surrogate parents-assigned and responsible for their siblings care (dressing, instruction,getting them into the vehicle to leave, watching them, etc.). The mom teaches them, not the eldest children. The mom and dad are responsible for managing their children and their daily and outside activities. You can't be but so in touch with your children,if you have a lot of children and you're filming/writing books/conducting seminars and interviews instructing others how to raise their children/making appearances, and flying to South America. I believe Jim Bob and Michelle love their children. I think the last thing the Duggar children need is less time with their parents though. Jim Bob and Michelle are old enough to handle all the upheaval; their children are not. It might be wiser to stay home and tend to the affairs of their own household, guard their childrens' hearts, and get some family counseling from a certified Christian counselor. All of the siblings have been emotionally damaged and impacted. Their priority should be their own children. Spending 15-20 minutes individually with a child each day (or even an hour) is not enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-50037293852077782632016-01-31T14:03:33.837-06:002016-01-31T14:03:33.837-06:00I hope they pay well jon&kateplus8 were paid $...I hope they pay well jon&kateplus8 were paid $75 grand an episode I hope those girls don't feel pressured to have babies just for the money why not just send them to school unless you need the money from the homeschooling conferences?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-82023314033490373772015-12-13T16:09:40.645-06:002015-12-13T16:09:40.645-06:00I am a big critic of the family but I am actually ...I am a big critic of the family but I am actually going to give Michelle the benefit of the doubt for a moment. Did anyone ever think that Michelle may be struggling personally about the scandal that started in May and the second wave of scandal a few months later? I know they are trained to only be pleasant etc but if Michelle is down in the dumps because of this I would understand and I think many others would too.<br />Every since TLC money started floating in the biggest heartbreak was Josie (I had premie twins as we'll and you just can't fall apart) but this is a different thing all together. The collateral damage that Josh has caused goes very deep. Michelle is dealing with her son in dire straits, being sued, losing his job, his wife and four small kids moving in Michelle's house, unsuccessful interview with Megan Kelly and much backlash, her daughters having to deal with being outed as victims, her other smaller kids asking questions, losing their tv show this losing their jobs, appearances etc. I am not a fan of Michelle but unless she is a robot she HAS to have serious aniety or depression about all of thisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-53410808227333293692015-12-08T06:47:47.425-06:002015-12-08T06:47:47.425-06:00Oh puhleeze...

Sometimes students need more help or a different approach. It's not a reflection on the teacher. A good teacher knows when to seek more help and does what is needed to meet the needs of his or her students. All we know is the tidbit that was shared here. Really, we're lucky to have that. Good for them for recognizing what their children need educationally.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365972254902362800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-51869925686257366922015-11-30T19:57:46.332-06:002015-11-30T19:57:46.332-06:00I never saw such a mean-spirited group as those wh...I never saw such a mean-spirited group as those who follow this blog. You call yourself CHRISTIANS? I don't follow any organized religion, and I'm far less judgemental of what the Duggars do or don't do, when it comes to educating their children, because it's NONE OF MY BUSINESS. Tabitha was hired by the Duggars. Means nothing other than they can afford help, and they got it. That's all. Stop backstabbing the very family you all profess to love so much.

Question...#43 - It's a gray area of the law...<br /><br />Question: Can a grandparent or someone other than the parent home school a child?<br /><br />Answer: The letter of the law says that a home school must be conducted primarily by the child’s parent or legal guardian. No court rulings exist that clarify to what extent other individuals can be involved in teaching a child enrolled in a home school.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-38716820818717934882015-11-30T16:21:33.608-06:002015-11-30T16:21:33.608-06:00Well the Duggars did let Jessa's boyfriend mov...Well the Duggars did let Jessa's boyfriend move in before he even proposed.
