I home school my two children. The oldest is ten and is very bright. I teach the typical stuff, currently doing area, perimeter and volume of shapes (As well as French, English and working on various projects).
However I feel my lessons could be a bit more interesting. What would you guys suggest is good learning for ten year olds? Maths and science wasn't my forte growing up but I they love it.
Bonus question: If you guys were to be home schooled what would you have liked to have learnt and how.

Don't underestimate your childrens' ability to learn, strive to instill independent thinking and reasoning above all else, don't forget philosophy and the humanities, encourage any social activity for your children to get into, and put actual research into how you need to educate your children so that they have the most opportunities when they have to go back into academia (college) or join society in the workforce

Last summer it took me one afternoon to teach my 5 year-old cousin the concept of multiplications, as well as the 0, 1, 2, 10 and 20 time tables. We even had time to learn about the continents and he still remembers it to this day.
Meanwhile it took more than a month of tutoring for my 18 year-old student to understand/remember that 0/1=0, 1/1=1, x/x=1...

I was homeschooled OP, but via trained tutors whilst travelling. A couple of points:
-External contact is key, both my parents are profs, and by the time I was 12 I was sick of learning from them, I was very grateful to have about 20 hours of contact time per week with professional tutors, usually retired profs with unique insight. The diveraity of ideas and teaching method is the point here.

-Travel is also important, homeschooling results in undrexposure to social situations, the deep end aspect of travelling made up for that, and provided me with great confidence.

-But, also make sure your k8ds have a regular social circle. I spent about 2 years living in hotel suites, and it's rough to have to make and lose friends constantly.

-Lastly, plan their integration into education. I went from this life to uni when I was 15, and that was very abrupt. There are different stresses to formal education, and they're a bit of a shock.

-Of course, also make sure they're used to exams, explaining their reasoning, justifying their arguments, and debate (and rhetoric), all of which aide success.

I'm a private tutor, so kids who come to me are (usually) not the most brilliant ones in the first place. But this one told me several times he was just "smart but lazy" and wanted to get into CS, so I thought I could easily spike his interest.

That whole thing about putting the Catholic priests and the Catholic church between you and God is not in the Bible, and the Protestantism that I have become acquainted with, though the members are by and large as hypocritical as any Catholic, seems to conform more strictly to what it says in the Bible without adding a bunch of extra garbage to make Satan happy. What is the interest of the Catholic church in doing the work of Satan? This one eludes me.

Let me just tell everyone, It's not a meme, guys.
Their school on more than one occasion has hung out the rainbow bunting and they send home booklets about understanding religions, always Judaism and Islam.
The head teacher is an overt lefty as well as having an unofficial diversity officer.
Having your kids ask you why people are always so horrible to gays and minorities, when frankly they aren't, but that's what your kids now think thanks to government education. So i just said fuck it. It's my job as a parent to make sure they're looked after in more ways than feeding them.

Don't listen to the liberal onionsboys in this thread, OP, you're doing good for your children by hömeschuling (German for homeschooling) them. However, it looks like the curriculum in >>10057308 is sorely lacking in a solid grounding in arts education. Let me suggest the following:

>Year 9:
-Western History, Philosophy, and the Fall of Rome
Course description: Greek Iliad, Plato and Aristotle, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Julius Ebola
Learning outcomes: By the end of the course, the students will use their aggregate knowledge to conclude that degeneracy and unchecked feminism leads to the decline of civilizations.

>Year 10:
-American Revolution
Course description: Students will understand that American independence was prompted by a desire of the colonists to break free from Rothschild-owned central banks.

-American Civil War
Course description: Students will understand that the civil war was about states' rights and not about slavery, and that Ashkenazi Jews were the main contributors to the Atlantic slave trade in the first place.

>Year 11:
-20th Century History and WWII
Required reading: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, The International Jew by Henry Ford, Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Course description: Students will learn how Jewish Bolsheviks caused the Russian revolution and the Red Terror that lead to the death of the Romanovs and the mass murder of over 50 million people in the territory of the former USSR. Students will apply critical thinking in analyzing the holocaust and question how hundreds of thousands of courses could be burned daily, one by one, in a few small scale ovens. They will learn about life in the concentration camps, including activities for the inmates such as movie theatres, brothels, and sports teams. Students will conclude that there must be a good reason why Jews have been persecuted in every nation they entered.

Course description: By the conclusion of the course, students will take the pussy off the pedestal and easily pass shit tests. They should be able to confidently cold approach women in public and spin several plates at a time. The course includes a half-semester coop on cold approaches at the local mall or church.

-Looks Theory and Blackpill
Learning outcomes: Students will recognize that looks, money, and status affect every aspect of their lives.

-21st Century Philosophy: Transhumanism, Men's Rights, and the Alt-Right (Independent Study Unit)
