How many of you are homeschooling some of your kids while others are in public or private school?
Short background:
Oldest ds was homeschooled all the way through 5th grade. Then we moved here. For 6th grade he went to school full time and hated it. For 7th grade he went half and half. It was better. This year he is going about 75% school and 25% homeschool. He hates it. He wants to homeschool full time for high school doing primarily online courses.
Younger ds only homeschooled for preschool. He has been here for kindy, first and second grade. He loves it!
They are total opposites. Older ds is an introvert, doesn't like to be around groups for very long, not athletic, not that social, etc.
Younger ds is very social, hates to be alone for any length of time, very athletic, etc.
If we left here to go back to the U.S. and homeschool, older ds would be thrilled and younger ds would be crushed. Stay here and older ds is miserable but younger ds is happy.
So we thought about staying here and just letting older ds take online classes full time (we have a nanny for our baby girl so there is an adult in the house at all times and he is a responsible kid).
What do you think? Have you split your kids up like this before for education? Did it work out ok?
