It sounds even more ridiculous to people who have home schooled continually since 2003.
I had my 15 year old son install new speakers in my truck unsupervised last Saturday. I'm probably going to have him do the spark plugs next.
My 16 year old daughter wants to earn money, so she is going to learn drywall finishing starting with filling screw holes.
This is completely normal for us.
Plugs used to be an easy job and still is most of the time. But I changed mine last summer and it took me two hours. I had to move the steering column out of the way to get the middle of the left bank. Just thought I would mention that or you might be teaching him how to swear better too.
