[quote=Anonymous]We are in the process of moving to NoVA and I homeschool my only child.  We are not religious.  We made the choice to homeschool for a combination of reasons - mostly academic, but also because I have one incredibly active boy.  Sitting is not on his agenda.  I'm quite sure that we'd be pressured about putting him on ADHD meds if we were to put him into a standard school situation and we're not open to that possibility at this time.

As a PP said, we were pretty rigid with our structure when we first started - very much "school at home".  We've become much more laid back over time and try to let DS lead at least part of the time.  It's been fascinating to see what interests him.   At this time, he is several years ahead in reading and math, so we have the freedom to indulge his whims.

We've had great experiences with homeschool groups in our current area.  We've found some really great, progressive, smart and fun parents and children to attend classes, playdates and field trips with in the past.  I'm hopeful that we'll find that again in the DC area.  We're definitely an "out and about" homeschool family.  I can't wait to learn about the opportunities for us in this area.[/quote]
