Thanks everyone for the fast replies. I didn't mean to offend anyone when I said you've given yourselves up, I just meant that you all gave made a huge sacrifice that's all :) My husband makes a good amount of money for his age (23) I wanted to make this decision for my own sanity. I really admire you all, and I appreciate your opinions.

I do think my contributions have value, and I admire you all that have given yourselves up for your childrens education.

I am only 23 so I have never had a job other than to take care of my daughter. I did put her in a Spanish immersion school, but we started having problems with her learning spanish so we put her in a charter school. I feel like she hasn't learned anything all year, other than what I've managed to teach her. I also have a 7 month old and I am scared of putting her in daycare, but I feel terrible for not contributing financially for our family.

Hey guys, I wanted opinions on wether I should homeschool my daughter or send her to school and I could get a job? Do any of you regret not going to work? I feel like my daughters education is so important, but I am scared of throwing my life away in a way to just stay home and homeschool.do any of you feel or have felt this way?

Thank you so much for the replies. I was looking at online school for my daughter because I am pregnant and the baby is due in October so I won't have the right mindset to come up with a curriculum of my own and plus because of financial reasons.

Hey guys, I have been thinking about putting my daughter in a immersion school for kindergarten this fall. My options are Spanish, French or German immersion. Have any of you put your children in an immersion school? I really don't like the regular schools where we live, so my last option would be online homeschool. Please help!

I don't know about structure, but I used to have a little table with chairs in the living room with all of my daughters art supplies out in the open for her. Although she loved it, it got too messy! So I have a few drawers in my dining room where I keep all of her art supplies and she just goes and gets them by herself. I keep the glue, markers and scissors away from her, but all she has to do is ask me and I'll get them for her. I also hung up 2 strings, one above the other in her room and she loves displaying her crafts that way.

Thanks everyone for all the support. I kept my daughter home today and sent her teacher a not-so-nice e-mail last night because I could not fall asleep. I told her that I did not agree with what she did to my daughter and also she takes the kids snack away if they misbehave (which I paid for at the beginning of the year!) so I told her I don't agree to that either. I also wrote that if my daughter does not finish her work she should send it home so she can finish it here. I do plan on permanently removing her from school after the valentines day party, but I just wanted to give her a piece of my mind!!! :smash:

Thanks everyone for the replies. My daughter is very bright, even the teacher told me that she knows more things than any kid there. I am scared of keeping her in school because I do not want them to "diagnose" her with some kind of disorder because she does things slow, but she gives 100% of herself into all she does, for example: all of her artwork is super detailed, even when she went to her checkup at the doctor's they asked her to draw a person, and the doctor was stunned at how she drew with a lot of detail, the doctor told me that most kids just draw a stick figure. If I homeschool her I am scared of her not having any sense of responsibility towards time management. What should I do?

Thanks everyone, since my daughter's class is having a valentines day party on Thursday I will let her attend it (we already bought valentines cards for the kids, she was so excited about it, and I don't want to break her little heart) so I will go to the office and remove her from school in the afternoon. Both me and my husband want the best for her, and I don't think school is it.

My daughter who is 4 years old goes to k4 mainly because she is an only child and my husband wants her to have interaction with other children. My daughter does things well but very slowly, her teacher even puts her in the hallway so she can get her work done while the other children get to play because they finished their work. What should I do about this? :confused1:
