I was teaching at the time in a public school. Then I kept reading about it and researching it and when Kindergarten age came, I decided to give it a whirl since Kindergarten attendance isn't mandatory anyway. It just worked for my first so well because he was extremely active and extremely a free spirit. <BR/><BR/>To make a long 10 year story short, he'd always planned to go to high school and when he left (in 8th) my second son sort of lost steam and interest in being home (alone with his pesky little brother - I didn't say that - though he didn't actually want to go to school either at that time) and I was losing steam and we had some stressors in the family, etc, etc. So I put them all in this year, K, 5th and 10th. All three like it very much and it looks like it's public school next year too. <BR/><BR/>When most people ask why we quit, I give the short answer: I'm having a midlife crisis.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686985033339478927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22087406.post-51429507718915440642008-06-03T17:23:00.000-07:002008-06-03T17:23:00.000-07:00See, at times like this I feel I am blessed to be ...See, at times like this I feel I am blessed to be 63......my kids had K grads but just the ceremony and then liquid jello to drink and stale cookies.....it was fine... and while you are at it Amy, fit in cleaning, cooking, wash, dog duty (or doodie) and husband tending!rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300107116527320425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22087406.post-89350154524642286492008-06-03T10:49:00.000-07:002008-06-03T10:49:00.000-07:00When we decide to have kids we really never think ...When we decide to have kids we really never think about all of this.<BR/>Why did you home school and why did you quit?Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708010694158542241noreply@blogger.com
