Actually, the Robinson curriculum is designed to be a self-taught one. This week, the parents do not have to spend a lot of extra time holding their kids hands, helping them through the learning process.
He even warns parents that their kids may become better educated than you after using it, LOL
That particular curriculum strongly discourages parents from allowing their children to use computers or TVs before the age of 16, but if you’re not against computer learning, there are plenty of online homeschooling curriculum you can use such as Ron Paul curriculum.
I havent looked into it. Self teaching seems to be based on the presumption that the child is willing to teach themselves. I dont know if the program talks about that or not, but most kids would rather eat candy and play video games all day than eat vegetables and teach themselves. Also what about pacing? How does self teaching ensure the child is progressing successfully?

children should become better educated than their parents. They should also be wealthier. That is the foundation of a progressing society.
I have poured over the contents of his website and YouTube videos and was very impressed with what he had to say. That being said, it is not so well organized so I cannot find the exact article I wanted to share to answer your question so I’ll paraphrase.
The public schooling system is designed to teach children to become obedient cogs in the machine and teach them that they are in capable of doing anything without outside intervention.
Now as far as discipline goes, Art Robinson was well disciplined with his kids. He did not have to yell them he did not have to hit them or anything like that. All he had to do was set up a few desks in his office space and he would do his own work quietly in front of them and expect the same from them when they were working on their math problems are reading books.
If you set a good Example for kids, they are going to emulate it. When you send them to public school, they are going to pick up bad habits and bad behavior. That’s all there really is to it.
Kids are very impressionable, after all
You may not believe what I am saying, but it is true. Look at people like Thomas Jefferson. He was mostly self-taught and look at where it got him!
it is absurd you have no choice but to pay for mediocre school. But you have to have a stay at home mother willing and capable of teaching this.
