this was me 4 years ago. 3 weeks before school started, my oldest decided she wanted to go to school after always being homeschooled. the deal was if she ever wanted to come back home, she'd stay because once in high school we weren't going back and forth.
over the years, there were times she wished to be at home, but she chose to stay. in our situation, she graduated first in her class, made some really awesome friends she wouldn't have otherwise, and is headed to a great college with lots of scholarship money in 3 weeks. and she got a good education on many levels in the process.
it was really hard on me. it got easier. this is what she needed. i have other children that would not have chosen or thrived on this path.
