Karen in CO Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) My oldest went to school until 7th grade, then back for 9th, then home in 10th, and is now away in college. The girls both go to public school one day a week. They both also take art classes. Edited August 4, 2011 by Karen in CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Nope. Just karate and a few other activities. Not academic classes or school, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 No, my children have never attended a brick-and-mortar school. I would have loved for my toddlers to have had a montessori experience during their preschool years, but it's not ever been an option that we could afford.

DesertDweller Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Ds attended preschool through first grade. Then later went back for his sophomore year only. All of it was at Christian schools. Dd has never been and has no desire to do anything but homeschool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 My oldest did preschool and then first grade in a Christian school. The two girls never went to any school except the older did go to summer school (fine arts program) and also CC. The older took classes in a homeschool academy and the younger will be doing something similar this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyscrapperinid Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 My oldest son went to ps kindergarten. Three of out of 5 of my adopted children attended ps as well until I told the social worker that in order to know for sure if I could handle things, I had to be able to homeschool all of my children- even my potential children. :001_smile: So they let us use a ps charter school where we only had to meet with a teacher 2 times a month. Otherwise, that is it- and unless something very serious happens that I can not foresee, that is the way it will stay. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Lulu* Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I just realized as I was reading everyone's responses that DD had some PS instruction. She received speech services, 30 min/week for about 5 months when she was in K. I suppose it was pretty uneventful to have slipped my mind like that!

Lady Florida. Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Does preschool count? Ds did half a year at a private preschool, even though we knew we were going to be homeschooling. He has never attended school after he reached compulsory school age. Edited August 4, 2011 by floridamom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcconnellboys Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 My older son was in pre-school from age 2. He was in private schools for K and first grades. He returned to a private school for his sophomore year and graduated from there. My younger son was in pre-school at age 2, then switched to a Montessori school at age 3 and remained there through K, when he came home. I'm looking at a Montessori high school that is starting here in connection with our local university, but I don't think he wants to go there for ninth and I'm not sure I could put him in for tenth if he doesn't do ninth there....

PeacefulChaos Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yes, oldest DS went to 2 years of private school for pre-k (age 3 - 2 mornings a week, age 4, 3 mornings a week), followed by K and 1st in our local PS. Younger DS went to a little over half a year of private pre-k - job changed and so did the $$ ;) (age 3 - 2 mornings a week), followed by 1 year of pre-k in our local PS. This is our first year homeschooling. :) And I don't know if I've mentioned it, but so far we LOVE it!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 My oldest is just starting her 4th year of college and my 2nd oldest is in her 6th month of a Cosmetology program so they've both now been in school outside the home. Other than 2 yrs of pre-school for my oldest while we were starting out in grad school they've all been at home, all the way through.

ragmama Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 No...although my younger daughter says she wants to go to "real school" instead of being homeschooled with her sister. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketgirl Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) I was a "successful" public schooler, then became a public school teacher (for 10 years, then stopped to try being a stay at home mom!!) after 1 year I began taking my kids out of ps one at a time...that's just the way it happened, not planned, at all. I've homeschooled now for 1 1/2 years to 1 and 1/2 of my kids; but will be starting our first year homeschooling all of my kids very soon !!! So my oldest went through most of 4th grade; 2nd went thru half of 1st; 3rd finished kdg; and last may never know ps, btw my 1st-3rd were in daycare from birth to preschool also, while I taught ps, so really we've been lifers til now...and are undergoing a huge transformation :) Edited August 5, 2011 by rocketgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linguistmama Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 None of mine have been to PS. We made some friends who homeschooled when my oldest was a year and a half. That gave us plenty of time to look into it and realize that it was what we wanted to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 My son went to a 2-day a week preschool for a year. It was a Montesori school, and I loved it. I had planned to send my daughter there, too, but they changed the rules to require 4 days per week and I wasn't cool with that. So we did Montessori style stuff at home for a fraction of the price, and she just played with the kids who went there LOL. We live in a small town, and this is THE preschool to belong to; lots of her peers and my friends' kids attend there. Other than that, nope. They're 10 and 5.

mereminerals Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Ds17 has never been homeschooled and will be graduate from ps next May. Ds14 attended ps from pre-k to 5th grade when he requested to come home. Dd10 attended ps from pre-k to 1st grade (actually only 3 months of 1st grade). This was definitely not a path I thought our family would ever venture on, but now I honestly don't see either of my youngest returning to ps unless there were major changes in our family.

LuvingLife Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I went from K-6th and I have never gone back, but I did take a DE course at the local ps and passed no problem.

Wabi Sabi Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Ds attended a private school from age 3-6 (preschool all the way through kindergarten.) He began homeschooling for first grade. We are sending our 3 year old dd to the same school this year. I anticipate that she'll be there for the next three years, then come home in first grade just as her older brother. I doubt we'll homeschool all the way through and imagine that at some point (middle school? high school?) that both children will eventually go to public school as well.

Delighted3 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 None of my kids went to school until they entered college after graduating from high school. We plan to homeschool all of our children until they graduate high school. I may have some of them dual enroll in the community college for their Jr. and Sr. year.
