We are pulling my 10 year old from school and doing the K12 program. You should see if it's available in your state. But my oldest and youngest student are staying put for now. Oldest has therapy services that I can't provide and likes school (although there is some violence issue going on right now that I'm watching to see if it resolves) and youngest gets speech therapy for verbal apraxia so he's staying put in the public system. Mid kid is getting lost in the background. He's uber shy and I'm watching his grades slide. I never know what he's supposed to actually be working on and work doesn't go back even when we do it. I figure if we bring him home, then I'll know exactly what he needs to be doing, lol. Also, kids are calling him fat, weird, ugly, etc. I'm watching his self esteem plummet and his anxiety and depression climb. So, home he comes. And we'll try it on for size. See if it makes things better all around. I think you just have to evaluate the pros and cons and see where you land. <br /><br />Delegating - I'm so terrible about this too. I keep telling them one person can't clean up after all 6 of us but at times I'm too tired to put in the energy it takes to get them to help more. I'll have to do better at this :) I know when I got married, I was glad my Mom had taught me to do all the things needed to keep up a household. I wasn't so thrilled as a youngster, haha, but I was glad I didn't have to learn cooking and ironing, etc as a young wife.<br /><br />I think you are awesome!

Consider yourself Momma Moses. <br /><br />And- you are not doing your son's future wives any favors by teaching them that mom has to do everything!timpani76https://www.blogger.com/profile/02616963163699950161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29453352.post-68537759131269758462010-04-15T15:27:27.620-05:002010-04-15T15:27:27.620-05:00Well I dont know about any of that.

I am also considering homeschooling considering how messed up things seem to be getting with the schools. I really enjoy reading your blogs, they make me feel so much better, we definatly need to get together with Julie and have some unwind time. talk to you later<br />Jenniferjennifernoreply@blogger.com
