I was struggling- and desperately needed to be at home. I chose to be homeschooled, and I chose to return to public school my sophomore year. I liked it, but it wasn't for me long term. I wish you the best in whatever your decision is. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer and I also don't think that you have to commit one way or the other forever.

Every child is different. Some kids really do thrive in public school, but I think they still need to be challenged at home by mom and dad. (in our family, this is Jacob. He loves it and he is doing amazingly well....he will stay in public school for now) Other kids, Samuel is a perfect example, DON"T fit into the box that is public education and because of that they struggle when they shouldn't. We are excited about this because we know it is what will be the best for him right now. Good luck with your decision....nothing is permanent either...you can change your mind!

You'd be an excellent teacher. BUT having been homeschooled my whole life, I'd rather cut my arms and legs off than do that to myself or my kids :) Although - homeschooling has come a long way since then!
