[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't mess around with the middle school.  Kids are all about their peers and figuring out who they are in middle school.  Even though it is 3 years compared to 6, it's when you as a parent have less control.  By middle school kids need to be more independent with their learning, they are hormonal, they don't want to spend time with parents and want to spend it with their friends, you may not remember the core subjects well enough to enrich/pick up any slack and it may be harder to schedule any tutoring sessions and getting your child motivated enough to seek any extra help if needed.

I general I think it is easier to pick up some of the school slack in elementary than in middle school but I agree the elementary would need to be decent not awful.  if you are starting from awful there is just too much you would have to counteract and you have limited time to do so.  If by awful that meant safety issues, picking up bad habits, hating school for whatever reason plus not learning the basics ...to deal with all that you would have to homeschool.[/quote]
