[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you not considered that the 10 and 12yo would reasonably be annoyed that they still have DL while younger sibling not only doesn't have school, but they and you will gallivant off to do whatever else?

I homeschooled 3 this year: 4th and twin kindergarten.  There was a vast difference in the time the older child NEEDED to complete their schoolwork vs the younger two.  However, I also understood that it was better to have the twins do some fun educational games that the 4th grader would perceive as school while the twins would appreciate as play time.  Setting up the older kids like that seems to be begging for them to skip school to watch TV instead.[/quote]

[b]No, my older kids don’t get jealous or feel left out of preschool outings.[/b]

My kids are pretty good with virtual school. I was just going to leave them home but now my middle child wants to come too. [/quote]

Agreed. (Except my older kids are in elementary school.)

I think it’s a little bizarre that a fourth grader needed to see his kindergarten siblings do work to be convinced to do his own work. This shows a pronounced lack of emotional maturity.
