[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP-- homeschooling can be fantastic-- it is for us! My kids are thriving academically, absolutely have a 'peer group', and are avid participants in their co-op (which is pretty sizable and gives them ample opportunity to learn from people with different teaching styles, to advocate for themselves, to make connections with friends etc) and their various extra curricular activities.

I will say though, OP, that it is not something done on a whim. I spend most evenings lesson planning and grading work. I am constantly planning lessons, compiling book lists, researching teaching styles (I have two children with two very different learning styles), writing down field trip ideas/book ideas/lesson ideas that inspire me. I have boxes of books in my basement in addition to an entire shelving unit dedicated to our work just for this year. And this doesn't include my children's shelves of 'fun' books they each have in their rooms or the many trips we take to the library.

I do it because I love it and I know it is right for our family for a variety of reasons. It is not easy, though. [/quote]
