[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the homeschooling PP. It is a joy to learn alongside my kids. I have a top law degree myself but the time I get to spend with my kids is worth so much more to me and to our family than working outside the home. (I can say this because I have help!)

Sorry to the PP who asked for the agency name - I didn’t like the agency at all and I’m not in DC. I’m sure there are many in the DC area.  [/quote]

I totally get you, PP! I am the PP who also homeschooled for a bit, and I don't think that people get how fun and rewarding homeschooling can be. I learned so much history, science, grammar, literature, math, etc. And a lot of parents complain about their kids using tech in school and not learning handwriting; guess what? My son has great handwriting and he was almost tech-free for a year and a half (he did typing, coding, and online "tours" of art museums and historical sites). We did no religious instruction.

I think it's great that OP isn't going to quit her job; a bit part of thriving as a big law spouse is doing what makes you happy as much as you can. For me for that period of time it was definitely homeschooling.

Side note: the amount of money PP would spend on tutors or private school to give her kids the education they are getting now would be substantially more than my husband's entire income. He is, however, a lowly non-equity partner, so maybe PP could actually afford it. [/quote]
