[quote=Anonymous]I am the "off the grid" Homeschooling poster, and PP describes it perfectly (although I feel like it's a pretty common term?)

the funny thing is, we're at one of the highly coveted schools EOTP that gets a lot of love, and I think they do their best to insulate the kids from the "pressure cooker" but I'm still feeling it and don't like many aspects of the teacher:student ratio or the access to outdoor time and generally feel like there isn't enough of a sense of fostering what my kids find interesting.  Yes,they all have to learn their ABCs at some point, but my oldest kid in particular is already starting to feel shame and internalizing his inability to be the "noarmalized" learner that teachers love in their classes.

Is there school in DC, private or public alike, that will allow him to follow his interests and allow him ample outdoor time to do the dreaming that this kid needs that doesn't also cost $40K/year and/or mean he's only going to school with incredibly wealthy children and all that implies? [/quote]
