Hi Dottie,
I hope that my posts about homeschooling versus traditional schooling didn't set off your defensive response. It wasn't my intention at all. I acknowledge that homeschooling isn't the be-all, end-all, either. We have definitely made many sacrifices to do it, and it STILL isn't perfect. I was just responding to the topic of grad-skipping, and how it would have negatively impacted our son. We know that we probably won't homeschool forever, as my ability to actually teach him stuff is coming to an end soon. That makes me nervous, because we don't yet have a good plan for what to do next.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that, and to tell you that I think all of us are doing the best job for our kids and families, who have completely different needs (both academic, financial and social). It's wonderful to see parents with the drive to consciously analyze options and find the best choice when that decision is so hard.
