Janeway Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) I think you all know which one. Thing is, I love him. But the joy of homeschooling and of our relationship is fading. I am not completely decided, but am over 90 percent certain. This will allow me to focus more on the other kids too.

Catwoman Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'm sure you'll make the best choice for your family. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I sent my freshman to PS this year and have not regretted it once. I've graduated two and still have a junior and a 3rd grader at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Sounds like a good decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have been a similar position before & completely understand how tough a decision it is & why it is sometimes the best option. Just make sure when you make the decision, your kid knows it isn't a punishment & knows how much you love him (repeatedly). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Of my three kids, one's never been homeschooled, one's always been homeschooled and one's gone back to school and had a resounding success. Do what you need to for each kid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I sent my oldest dd to ps for high school and while I was not at all impressed with the quality of education that she got, it saved our relationship and she did grow into a better person than she would have if we had continued to butt heads over absolutely stupid stuff. I kept my son home, he was so interested in learning that going to the same school the oldest went to would have frustrated him a lot. He researched books and wrote amazing book reports on classic books. Although he hated Don Quixote and Moby Dick so his reports on them were quite amusing, lol. I sent my youngest to public high school, it is one of the best in the North State and she has had social struggles but her quality of education is very good and I am happy with the decision. I think my point here is that when you do what you know is right you probably will be happy with your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Grace Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I don't know your story but the first time I sent one of my kids to school, it was weird and a little hard but I *knew* it was the right decision. I never regretted it! He thrived, and so did I as a homeschooler with one fewer student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
