The short answer is "You can do better!"
I pulled my DS 8 this year from 4th grade. I cannot even begin to tell you the amount of peace homeschooling has brought to our lives. Had you asked me a year ago, I would have told you there was NO way the two of us would be able to work together. Hours of fights about homework, tantrums about reading "stupid" books, so much drama, has all dissolved into a cooperative, inspired and enthusiastic learner.
We get to do the most amazing projects because we have the time and space to do so. He gets his extracurriculars that he couldn't have before due to school not getting out until 3:30pm and at least an hour of homework every night.
I miss grown up conversations, but we have the internet for that!
