[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you home school? Concern over education quality at your local school options or do you worry about their interactions with other children?

[b]Do you worry they’re missing out on mainstream life experiences[/b]?[/quote]

OP here-- already covered the why question.

For the bolded-- not really. They get a lot of them through their co-op-- lots of [b]unstructured time with sizeable groups[/b] of kids with different personalities. Are they missing some? Probably, but considering the prevalence of screens in modern education (but no my children are no computer illiterate) as well as bullying in schools, I do not consider this to be a net-negative.[/quote]

Curious what size and also how much time and effort you had to put in to find consistent groups. [/quote]

Not much effort, really. I found a co-op with over 50 kids in it that meets about 2 towns over from us. That group gets together twice a week. If I didn't have this group, there were other groups that offered homeschool classes and various homeschool meet-ups that I would have connected with. Most areas have more options than people realize.

The team sports and other community activities they do through the town, and thus I found them the usual way.[/quote]
