Thanks for your thoughtful comment. There’s definitely a lot of controversy related to homeschooling. I just happen to be one of those people that very clearly witnesses both sides.

I think many homeschoolers do an excellent job of providing all the real-world experiences children should have. Others’ purpose is specifically to shield them from those experiences. The beauty of homeschooling is you can do it however you see fit.

We didn’t have the choice of going to my husband’s school this year because we didn’t live in the district. But this coming schoolyear, we could be open-enrolled (met the deadline.) So this is the year we’d have a lot of questions to answer. Honestly, thought, the school where my husband works isn’t a good fit at all – high poverty, low achievement, low parental education — and most of the parents there aren’t paying any attention to anything. It’s the teachers that would have raised the questions with our family.

Hopefully we’ve found a workable solution. We’ll see in the next year!
