ARTICLE ON DOUG DEVITRE, FATHER OF HARRY.
My son Harry, and his business, have been selected by ITEN, the Innovation Technology and Entrepreneurial Network in St. Louis to participate in the Eureka Experience, a 12-month virtual business accelerator alongside Lindenwood University. While it might seem awkward that a six-year-old in first grade would be participating in a college-level program, you need to know this is not your everyday lemonade stand.
In order to start a sustainable business, you need to be passionate about what you do and have a support system to help you navigate the perils of entrepreneurship. Otherwise, one swift blow from out of nowhere can easily take you out of the game. If you ask Harry about his passion. It’s Minecraft. YouTube. Teaching others. That’s when he is smiling the most. That’s all he thinks about. This is a recipe for a successful entrepreneur.
Schools do their best. I applaud the teachers who sacrifice hours behind the scenes and have to deal with unreasonable parents too. My Mom was a retired school teacher from Riverview Gardens and witnessed her stress first-hand. However, schools are unequipped today despite their best intentions. Each is using outdated systems, reinforcing outdated policies, and teaching outdated methods that are not meeting the students’ each own’s preferred learning style. Instead of focusing on the problem, I have chosen to provide Harry with a homeschooling opportunity of a lifetime by being his teacher, mentor, coach, and connector. This is where it continues and I’m excited to share the benefits of taking a homeschool approach regardless if your kids go to a public, private, or charter school.
10 Benefits of Homeschooling
You don’t own your homework until it’s part of your business.
Each drawing. Each writing journal. Each math assignment you have ever done in school might have reinforced a learning objective. However, your assignment has either been thrown away or buried a box somewhere you only see again until you move.
When you start a business as part of your homeschooling plan, you make each assignment a contribution to your business as simple as it may be. If Harry is six now, he will have complied 12 years of assignments together into one business by the time he graduates high school.
Instead of going to camp, he will be teaching camp.
Instead of obtaining certifications, he will be teaching his own
We must equip children with mental skills and good habits to prevent mental health issues and phone addiction. Kids need to Play.
