Well we already do cub scouts and martial arts. And I love them making friends this way cause I know them too and their parents were I know none of the kids they are around 8 hours a day

My two sister in laws homeschool their kids, and they all love it. There's a homeschool co-op thing where they get together for field trips, the kids are super socialized and happy, and they're learning really well. I like the idea of homeschool because you can focus more on what help your individual kid needs rather than a teacher who has to spread his time amongst 20-30 kids, and you can make it fun, more real-world experiences.

You can always enroll your kid in a music class, art class, sports, whatever he or she had a passion for, to get them in a bigger group setting.

I worked in the public school system for about 5 years... with juniors and seniors in high school... I had kids who were about to graduate unable to do simple math, some could barely write, few could spell, and I actually had one that could not read! 😓and the school corporation I was in was one of the better school districts! We are seriously considering having me home school our kids, just because I don't feel with all the regulations put on teachers and the teaching to tests really does not make for better education! We are also looking at Montessori schools, and might do our children's early education through that, and then homeschool after that... still trying to decide ourselves!
