[quote=Anonymous]I just started homeschooling my 3rd and 5th graders. There are plenty of homeschoolers who unschool, but there are a substantial number of homeschoolers who decided to pull their kids out of school because of the lack of rigor in some public schools. my oldest is advanced academically and s quiet well-behaved kid. There is no gifted/honors/accelerated program at his school. He is usually forgotten except when the teachers have to seat him next to out of control kids because as his teacher told me, "I use him as a positive peer model because he is so well behaved, polite,  and good at explaining to other kids how to do the work". He was not offered accelerated work, instead he was supposed to go around helping others when he quickly finished. He started hating school and developing stomach aches because he felt responsible for major behavior problem kids or was afraid he was going to get pushed, kicked, hit, or even spit upon when he would nicely ask the problem kid to stop scribbling on his paper or shoving his desk.

Homeschooling has been fantastic. He is using accelerated curriculum like Aops pre-Algebra, Caesars English, writing with Skill, etc. He wakes up happy with a smile on his face. [/quote]
