[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid learned a lot of math and writing in first grade. [b]It is a foundational year and I worry that your daughter would miss out. [/b]There are some great homeschool curriculums (Singapore Math is supposed to be really good for math) but what she learns from you might not match up with her public school curriculum. (If she is in private you can buy the curriculum and keep up with the work.) [/quote]

LOL no

Smart kids will be fine missing everything up to 3rd grade

But what if OP's kids aren't academically advanced and have undiagnosed learning disorders and need the guidance of a teacher?[/quote]

This. First is when many schools screen for common LDs. It's also when you start to see what kind of reader your kid is and when they start developing a relationship to school in terms and f attitudes toward the culture and expectations.

I think 1st is not a great year for this unless you have a kid who is already way ahead. K or 2nd would be better. 2nd-4th are the best years for homeschooling, IMO, assuming your kid does not struggle in 1st. [/quote]
