[quote=Anonymous]New poster, wondering if anyone has advice on pros and cons for kids who are easily bored? My daughter is ahead at school and bored silly in that setting, but at least she has the benefit of being out of the house and interacting with other kids. I’ve considered homeschooling for the last year of elementary school, partly to get around the school boredom problem and even more to try and instill a love of learning. Right now, she sees schoolwork as something to be finished with the minimum of effort and as quickly as possible. I’d love to give her more challenge and get her more interested. But ... what if that doesn’t work? Could she end up still resenting schoolwork AND stuck in our boring condo day after day? Will I just trade forcing her to get to boring school for forcing her to do her boring homeschooling activities?

I know homeschooling families partly get around that possibility by planning lots of activities, but I’m chronically ill in a way that often makes it difficult to get out of the house. I’d rather plan for a worst-case scenario and be pleasantly surprised (or plan for it, get scared away, and stay in school!) than make an easy decision but find ourselves trapped and hating it for a whole year. Thanks![/quote]
