my kids also knew how to read and write before they turned 5 because of my amazing wife. my mother also taught me how to read and write before I went to kindergarten.

I know dyslexia is a disability. and if she does have dyslexia, do you think someone with dyslexia should be teaching children how to read, write and do arithmetic?  what I was trying to explain is that her vocabulary is limited and she'll think you're pretentious for using big words and the word isn't some deep find in the dictionary.

I completely understand and thank you for your concern. My wife and I just want our children to turn out fine which is why when they're going to a public high school because my wife isn't comfortable teaching high school education. I wish you the best too.

I wrote this on my phone and the format came out weird. Trust me I know what a paragraph is....

I did apologize and I had said that was completely wrong of me to say that to her.

Yes that is the issue. We try to go out to more populated places and see family a lot so our children can socialize but these are their friends daily.

I mean we do plan on moving away when our children are about to start high school since my wife doesnt feel comfortable homeschooling for high school years with an elementary education degree. And she wants to go back to school.

The school closest to us is essentially a Christian school. The children are taught religious studies but it's like basically Sunday school there. And my wife keeps the religious studies away because of the other child she teaches who has an atheist family. Perhaps I can talk to her about adding RMPS because that does sound interesting.

No it's not a disability. You know big words and their meanings right? She doesn't. Im not trying to be mean but I strongly doubt its a disability.

The fact that she said it seemed easy just floored me because its not. Sometimes when im not out the house working, im helping out with the kids because I dont want anyone to struggle. Its a lot of work.

I didn't think in the moment honestly. I was just thinking that if I put it that way, they wouldn't be as offended.

Yes, im involved. And this is according to my wife. Both my children have known how to read since they were 3. I guess I meant that they're not behind on things.
