Stay-at-home dad refuses to homeschool his 6-year-old daughter because she's failing 1st grade math, despite his wife's insistence: 'I want her to have a “normal” childhood'

Homeschooling is one of those things that you can't do halfway. If one parent really wants to do it and the other does not, it will be challenging to make it happen. Homeschooling requires both parents to be working full-time, with one parent supporting the family financially and the other planning and facilitating their children's education. If either parent isn't fully committed to the homeschooling mission, the home will become an agitated environment. 

Of course, it's normal for one homeschooling parent to be more invested in homeschooling on a day-to-day basis. The parent who teaches has to be the one who is most committed to it, and if they're uncommitted to homeschooling, they're in for a world of trouble. If a breadwinner forces a stay-at-home parent to homeschool against their will, they will likely be resentful of their partner and may neglect their child's education. Parents can always try homeschooling for a season to see how their family likes it, but they shouldn't even try it if the parent-teacher doesn't want that job in the first place.
