EdTech Story
I found this article on LinkedIn of named “Asim Qureshi”
I get asked a lot what triggered me to homeschool my 3 kids. Now, to make their short drive to school constructive I taught them math on the way there. It was when I realized that they were learning more math in the car, than they were during the entire day at school, it got me thinking.
A few months later we pulled the kids from the school, to give it a try. 6 years on, and to our own surprise, my 11 years old is doing her A-Levels which my 13 and 15 years old did 2 years ago.
The elder ones are doing wherever their passion take them. All 3 are close to conversant in 6 language – English, Mandarin (Chinese), French, Bahasa, Malaysian, Urdu/Hindi, and Arabic, are good public speakers, and play plenty of sports.
The funny thing is that for the most of the part, we didn’t teach them, they learnt mostly from google, YouTube, or were taught by teachers one whom they hired themselves, and take lectures over skype.
