  1. I just want to add that I only posted that we have had a good experience with transitioning from homeschool to high school b/c I have had some friends who really and truly struggle with this issue. I think we hear so many negative stories about people's local high schools etc that I think it is important to speak up and say when it has been a positive experience.

     

    However, I am NOT sitting in judgement of anyone who does homeschool throughout high school. I think it can be a great decision and I strongly believe that it is possible to give your high school aged kid a fantastic education at home.

     

    I've just seen some friends fall apart emotionally over this issue, and it can be so, so hard to know what the 'right' thing is. I've seen people feel like they couldn't tell their friends they were considering to public school b/c they would be seen as 'selling out'. I've seen others give into pressure from family to send their kids to high school because it's 'too hard' to teach secondary school at home. I don't want anyone here to feel like they are not supported in whatever choice they make. I know what it's like to stand on the abyss...one I never intended to stand on...and jump in. It's not easy.

     

    I just want to second the sentiments that redsquirrel posted.   It was a super hard decision because I had intentions of homeschooling all the way through, but alas, my son decided to go to high school.  It has been a good transition.

     

    Nothing really prepares you for the teenage years.   lol

  2. Ladies, I propose we start a little instagram club where we can share our 2016 progress.  No hashtags, private... what do you say?  I think it will force me to do something about my hair, and just to own that no matter how much I suck at something, at least I get up and do it.    LOL plus I would love to see some of the stuff  you gals are doing.

     

    :D
