[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pros for me: lower amount of anxiety from everyone in the house. Less schoolwork frustration. Ability for DC to read books all of the way through during school time rather than 15 minutes of free time, now put it away. Slower mornings, no need to rush out the door at 7:20 am. More time for activities. DC also requires some SN services, but it was going to be a long drawn out battle getting them from the school system. Very little recognition of 2E needs where we live (PGCPS). More exercise, art, history, science, and music time. More relaxed and humane lunches. [/quote]

+1 to all of this, and more outdoor time, too.

I think school has many things going for it, but one seemingly necessary component that bothered me was the interruption of flow-- because the day's schedule couldn't be in the hands of students, when I was volunteering in a classroom I'd often see a student who was REALLY deeply interested in whatever she was doing at that moment be forced to stop and move onto something new. I like being able to see that one of my kids is getting REALLY into drawing her map of ancient Greece, and putting in a lot more detail and taking more care than I'd expected, and being able to decide on the fly that I am just going to put on some music and let her spend the morning doing that. It's a lot easier to budget time for everything when you only have a few students to teach.[/quote]
