I have worked in a school district in this area, therefore, I am familiar with teaching practices. I do sometimes use some of the older methods of teaching if a child is not learning it the new way, then teaching the new way once they master the concept.I also have been homeschooling my own children since pre-k. My oldest is now in 6th grade and thriving. This gives me lots of experience with the differing learning styles and teaching methods. My daughter has a minor learning problem. I have.
