[quote=Anonymous]Show of hands - Who else has switched to homeschooling this year? We just finished week 2 of homeschooling and it is SO much better. (I wrote some of this in a reply on another post but thought we could start a new thread to share ideas.) My bright but severely ADHD 5th grader is thriving for the first time in a long time, and my NT or mild ADHD 2nd grader is mostly living it as well. We are using Beast Academy, Bravewriter, Curiosity Chronicles, and Real Science Odyssey so far. I had to drastically cut back my hours at work, and I spend a good bit of time evenings and weekends prepping lessons, but it is amazing how much better it is. We finish school before lunch and I’m actually able to *focus* on my work in the afternoons. I also recognize how much privilege we have to be able to do this. My DH is the breadwinner by a huge margin, and my job loves me and is willing to be flexible to keep me on even in reduced capacity. I know it’s not an option for everyone. I’m happy to try to figure out how to share my lesson plans, if that would help anyone. (I am also homeschooling a 2nd grader; we are in MCPS.) Anyone else have any ideas?[/quote]
