Tyler isn't being left our or anything like that. Jim Bob and Michelle are simply guardians for Tyler right now, as his family has experienced some hardship. Per both the Court system (who have strict laws protecting minors' privacy) and out of respect for Tyler, he is not featured in the header and is generally not "featured" or "interviewed" in show segments. As a part of the family, he is naturally a part of their daily activities and celebrations, as he should be.

Judging only by what I've seen so far, I'd say he's likely the type who spends more time really listening and when he has something to say, it likely carries more weight because he's not always talking. Just my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-61967460125894607212021-01-21T20:36:19.634-06:002021-01-21T20:36:19.634-06:00Actually homeschooling, individually teaching nume...Actually homeschooling, individually teaching numerous children and coaching/tutoring/spending extra time with any who may be struggling with a subject, can sometimes fill 8 hours. Parking them in front of a video/computer program that you use for all your children (irregardless of whether it's their learning style or not) doesn't take much time at all, but the children pay. As a homeschool mom,I see many parents who choose to homeschool for a variety of reasons, but don't really want to do the work of schooling. They set their children up with computer-based/video curriculums, so that mom can channel her time and effort into building and running a blog/establishing a Youtube persona (working toward paid sponsorships) or running a successful home business. Then they seem surprised when their children fall behind in a subject or make a lower grade than expected on end of year testing...as if it's all the child's fault. Just like in a public school setting, not every child is going to quickly or easily grasp every concept of every subject. The more children you teach, the more time it will take, if you really want them to understand the material and not just memorize it for the test. Rant over. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-75979955013807907272021-01-21T19:06:52.853-06:002021-01-21T19:06:52.853-06:00I like Ben, but question his common sense.
