[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make my kids do worksheets, spellings, writing practice, cursive, multiplication tables and elocution practice at home.

I cannot control what they do in public schools and I have low opinion of private schools in US. So, I use the public schools as a mainstream socializing tool, but, what I need my kids to really learn, it is all happening every single day at home. [/quote]

I got tired of doing all of this. I can supplement one or two subjects, sure, but not everything! There’s no time for sports, music, family time, and we need flexibility in the early evenings. We switched to parochial and just supplement math. [/quote]

Same.  There just wasn’t enough time in afternoons once you factor in sports, music, other kids, dinner, cleaning up. So I pulled and started homeschooling.  Best decision ever and my child is far ahead of grade level.  I was fed up having my child left to languish in school:  doing a whole lot of nothing, playing dumb “educational” games, and waiting for the teacher to catch up the kids far behind or having behavioral challenges.  Homeschooling 1-2 kids without any learning challenges, and excited to learn is actually fun and rewarding
