[quote=Anonymous]When they are younger, I think you can usually keep up with private-school level work via working with them afterschool and during the summer. Math and writing have to be taught, reading/history can be done as read-tos at bedtime and through strict anti-screen policies. But as children get older, it becomes more and more difficult to get even a very light version of homeschooling done during non-school times. Could you compromise and send them to a cheaper private school? The student body is not going to be as strong, but that doesn't mean the education is going to be worse -- the correlation between curricula and price is tenuous. You need a lot of money to implement the truly bad ideas, and capable enough students that they will not be too obviously impacted.[/quote]
